中文简介:
这个系列展示了伦敦和雅典神秘而支离破碎的城市景观,艺术家Effie Paleologou几乎把这两个地方当作了家。晚上伏案工作,感到身份变得模糊不确定时,Paleologou虚构出了第三个让她越来越依恋的舞台。她的照片充满了一种熟悉的感觉,但同样受制于不同现实中出现的不确定性和脆弱性的状态。没有了居民,这座混合的城市显得寂静无声,却又奇怪地引起共鸣。Paleologou提供了过渡空间和阈值空间的现代地图。她着迷于火车站、酒店、停车场、海港和机场,相遇、离别、消失和结束在这些地方不断发生。阴影和灯光投射在城市几何图形上,显示出幻觉般的场景和不可思议的情绪。如果这是家,这里也有一个剧院在不停上演。在这里,疏离和归属感是并存的。
英文简介:
This collection evokes a mysterious and fragmented cityscape of two places – London and Athens – both of which artist Effie Paleologou has come to regard as almost home. Working nocturnally, when identities become blurred and indeterminate, Paleologou conjures a third fictional staging that she has become all the more attached to. Her images are infused with a sense of the familiar but are equally beholden to the states of uncertainty and vulnerability that arise in alternative realities. Stripped of inhabitants this hybrid city appears silent yet strangely resonant. Paleologou offers a modern mapping of transitory and liminal spaces. She is drawn to train stations, hotels, carparks, seaports and airports, sites in which encounters, departures, disappearances, and endings unfold perpetually. Shadows and artificial light cast across urban geometries reveal phantasmagoric scenes and uncanny moods. If this is home, there is a restless theatre at play too. Alienation and belonging belong together here.
