INSTALLATION

‘Out of the void they came to dream’, an installation. Curated by Uncoated, this piece was shown at the group exhibition ‘Identity Unveiled’, at Berlin’s Glogau Air, which looked into the masks that we wear in society whilst discovering our identity. The question ‘how connected to the self are people willing to be' underlined each of the artist’s works.

This installation consisted of three photo series and the short film ‘A Dream within a dream’. The works were projected onto a container of water, which sat on atop of two speakers. Sound frequencies played beneath, as their vibration transformed the surface of the water into ever-shifting and changing fractals.

ADE GROUP EXHIBITION / UNCOATED / AMSTERDAM

In October I had the honour of being part of a group exhibition in Amsterdam, with Uncoated, in The Photo Room, at the Playground Art Route.

The show was an immersive audio-visual environment that aimed to give the visitor a new perspective on emerging art photography. The theme of this year's Photo Room was 'identity unveiled', where visitors were challenged through the surrounding visuals of ‘how we perceive our true Self’, and the struggles that it can create, en-masse, within the whirl of the modern world. 

A short interview with the show’s curator, Josephine de Fijter, can be read here.

GROUP EXHIBITION

––––› UNCOATED PRESENTS: IDENTITY UNVEILED ‹––––

’The visage perceived by others, it establishes a passage to transcend the outer world from the enclosed inner-self.’

Emmanuel Levinas

I was recently part of a group exhibition that took place at the the GlogauAIR artist residency, in Berlin. The exhibition ‘Identity Unveiled’ looked into how we can balance our role within the social system whilst discovering our identity with the question ‘how connected to the ‘Self’ are people willing to be?’

The exhibition was curated by Uncoated, which provides emerging photographers a platform to shine a photographic light on the struggle of defining one’s identity. Uncoated is a new, Berlin-based platform for contemporary photography that supports photographers by organizing socially relevant exhibitions throughout Europe.

In today’s society addictions, suicide rates, burnouts and interest in self-help books are increasing exponentially. Curator Josephine de Fijter researched into this phenomenon for 2 years and talked with numerous people. The result? Almost everyone she encountered struggles with the subject of identity in their own personal way. By hosting this exhibition, De Fijter hoped to create a starting point for raising awareness on the subject of identity.

For the show I created an installation titled ‘out of the void they came to dream’, which used sound frequencies, water, and a projector, to have each of the pictures emerge across the vibrating surface. Some of the works included for this installation /
