Alex McQuilkin "Unbreak My Heart"
Marvelli Gallery
This event has ended.
A Woman either loves or hates; there is no third grade. And the tears of woman area a deception, for they may spring from true grief, or they may be a snare. When a woman thinks alone, she thinks evil.
-Seneca, Tragedies (as quoted in the Malleus Maleficarum)
Marvelli Gallery is pleased to present "Unbreak My Heart", a new video projection by Alex McQuilkin. McQuilkin's new video reinvestigates themes from previous works: loss, objectification, abandonment and desire. These raw emotions, easily grasped by anyone who has experienced longing, are circumvented through acts of play: A strip tease laden with sorrow, an execution accompanied by a pop love song.
