Maria Antonietta Mameli "Human Observations - Long Takes"
Bruce Silverstein
This event has ended.
Artist's Statement: By cutting everything off, I remove every possible element of distraction to focus on reality and surrounding emotional life through a telescope, so that space and time become non-existent. My subjects are made not only of forms, but shadows. The forms and their shadows being inextricably linked like body and soul, life and death.
By reducing the subjects to minimal size, I force the viewer to get closer to my work not only physically, but also emotionally. I created my aesthetic space where the facets of human condition are under the sharp scrutiny of my lenses.
