poster for Aleksandra Petrusevska "Refound Time"

This event has ended.

With her second solo art project, Aleksanda Petruševska plays and deterritorializes. By hybridizing several different media, Aleksandra opens up memory to photography; photography to present reality (building fragments, sharpnelled walls and crannies, cracks and urban ruins) in order for a fluid to leak the present once again, this time towards a vague and featureless past. And precisely when photography captures, frames and territorializes, it opens, ready made, to the virtual range of possibilities and recontextualizations of graphic design. What is seen as a final product of this flux of identities is the detail, the fragment, the trace, the memory gap, a stain scattered around the wallpaper and the new imaginary home. The room welcoming the viewer/recipient, not anticipating his identity and sacrificing her possessions to the One holding the divine riddle of the Other. Petruševska built and decorated a room in order to welcome and entertain humanity. A home in various colours, welcoming guests, people with no names, individuals with no identity, pieces of the primordial stained glass– an "oikos" with the gate wide open to all uninvited guests.
