DRAMATIC REALITY
Darren Almond, Aitor Lajarín, Won Ju Lim and Clare Woods
18. 09. 2008 - 25. 10. 2008
Pilar Parra & Romero gallery is pleased to present “Dramatic Reality” a group show that includes artist Darren Almond, Aitor Lajarín, Won Ju Lim and Clare Woods.
The show draws different meanings and questions how a scene, in particular an apparent landscape, can content different experiences, perceptions or realities; where memory and narrative appear from experiences that occur through different times and spaces as a vehicle that combines connotations of reality, cinematographic fiction, theatrical or literary.
It points out the manipulation of the image as an alteration of the reality or just expressing a dramatic reality which emphasizes both the action of capturing the moment and the materiality of the scene: appealing surfaces that creates drama, tension, ambiguity or merely express a narrative happening.
Sometimes the external look of these works can deceive the viewer eye, who can associate them as being pure formal exercises, out of referential world in connexion with a modernism era. These works are open, narrative events rather than hermetic scenes.
Although the artists have different approaches to an image all of them share a common point, which is that the result of the images is contingent although they were born from different contents and they bear different times and spaces.
