Opening: October 23, 7PM – 9PM
Sharing a poetic approach in embodying experiences moving between the physical world and that of the mind, five artists have created works in media ranging from painting and photography to video and installation. Under the title taken from Anais Nin’s diary, works navigate through multiple realms with different modes and densities of time, questioning and investigating borders between what is perceived as internal and external; and how these may fold and ripple into each other.
Through processes of doubling, reflection, and variation, the video installation of featured Austrian artist Ben Pointeker leads us continually deeper into the fearful states of a shadow being that seems to float oddly on the surface while its emotional life is cast back into the distorting mirror of the surroundings. Crystalline time-images formulate to a tactile alphabet between introspective landscape and externalized emotionality …and let the object of the investigation ultimately congeal to subject.
