Marina Xenofontos KARAT CASTLE

31 Jan-28 Feb

Marina's Attitude

Stereo blind yourself; perception is bred via the cacophonous 'third dimension' of

power. Hierarchies and ideologies, narrated through historicization and

culturalization, holler a penetrating depth of field; erecting magnificently fortified

castles, an architecture of worship. Swept up, a language is acquired, bias is tuned,

values are defined, normalcy is born: innocence is lost, conformity is found. Squint,

mute, self induce naivety; become like child. Financial centres, religious institutions,

government complexes, malls, luna parks, strip clubs, apartment blocks, mansions,

refugee camps... flattened, merging into each other. A science fiction tale, a

symphony of flashing colours, complex formulas, mutating shapes and uncanny

melodies, where nuance and epic aesthetically occupy the same universal conditions;

become like child. Reclaim beauty, an intimate relationship to the senses, sans object,

sans subject. Reillusion a Leibnizian optimism, salvage Candide's disillusioned ideals.

Squint harder, wonder; become like child, holy.
