"Éter", 2009 (sala 1)
-- How do we see what we see? To what extent do we perceive people, things, the world, beyond a mere reflection of ourselves? Do we look for the mysterious of a new encounter, or do we seek the comfort of the familiar? Could we hold this uncanniness or do we need to quickly identify it, label it (and discard it)? Departing from these questions, Alice Shintani presents "Ether", her second solo exhibition at Galeria Virgilio. Designed as two environments based on site-specific context, the artist proposes an immersive experience room on the ground floor and an installation based on ten paintings on canvas on the top floor. ![]() |
