CURRENT Athens is an online platform for the non-hierarchical promotion of contemporary art.
The members club Salon de Bricolage is pleased to invite you on Wednesday, October 24, 2018 at 20:00 to the private viewing of Anna Fafalious' exhibition 'Few Things We Left Unsaid', curated by the art historian Anna Chatzinassiou. The exhibition follows the presentation of the interactive art project, which was presented in 2017 at the Scotch of St James in London.
Few Things We Left Unsaid, is a text-based neon installation. Each piece presents a different imperative command centered on the self, such as “Remember Me,” or “Love Me.” The light that radiates from these pieces has a clear straightforward effect on each phrase. Following Fafaliou’s background in performance, these works create a confessional narrative that reduces strong emotional intensities down to short, two-word phrases.
Her work explores the relationship between object, memory and identity. Her practice is based on the distortion of commonplace objects, materials and forms in order to create new dialogues between them and the viewer, observing the disruption of familiarity to them.
