Heterotopia 2012
);)
description:Heterotopia is a concept of ‘spaces of otherness’, which are neither here nor there, that are simultaneously physical and mental, such as the moment you wake up after a dream, or the moment when you see yourself in the mirror. It could also be a moment of realization which we individually observe; a moment of understanding that our beautiful and complex civilization is pregnant with death.Using grand narratives and references to renaissance paintings that are embedded in all our collective consciousness, multi disciplinary Singaporean artist Ketna Patel (b. 1968 in Uganda, Africa) is attempting to flatten time, blur geographical boundaries, and bring to the fore a certain ‘consumption’ of contemporary culture that seems to be at a major penultimate moment before it eats itself into oblivion. There is beauty and death in this moment, and underneath it all, a small seed of a new beginning. |
