Reinkarnacija fascinacija (od 10. do 16. septembra)
Leigh San Juan
Studio 8, Soteska 8, 1000 Ljubljana. Otvoritev 10. septembra 2009, ob 20.00
Razstava Reinkarnacija fascinacija se naslanja na preprosto kolaž tehniko in predstavlja vajo v pogledu z druge perspektive. Leigh je skozi daljše obdobje zbirala podobe s časopisov, popotniških revij, starih knjig in fotografij, ki so ostale zavržene v zapuščenih hišah, izgubljene na pločnikih ali končale na stojnicah boljšjih sejmov. Namen tega zbiranja pozabljenih predmetov je dati jim novo življenje. Njene slike reciklirajo podobe, da bi razburkale domišljijo. So popotovanje skozi obdobja in celine, pri čemer oponašajo let misli skozi podzavestno in zavestno. Medij tega skupka del je podoba sama: kot neizčrpen vir sodobnosti in kot simptom prenasičenega, s podobami obsedenega sveta.
Reincarnation Fascination (10 to 16 September)
Leigh San Juan
Studio 8, Soteska 8, 1000 Ljubljana. Opening 10 September 2009, 8 PM
Using low fi techniques and amateur style Reincarnation Fascination is an exercise in looking from a different angle. Leigh has been collecting images from newspapers, travel magazines, second hand books and discarded photograph albums that have been abandoned in old houses, tossed on pavements or sold in fleamarkets. This gathering of forgotten objects is in order to give them a second life. Her pictures are recycling the images to incite the imagination. The paintings are a journey through eras, continents mimicking the flight of thoughts through subconcious and concious mind. Her medium for this set of works is the image itself: an inexhaustable source of contemporary life, a symptom of the oversaturated image obsessed world.
