“from darkness we see light
from the hidden we uncover the revealed
from obscurity we discern clarity.”

Architecture is a binding force. It is an organizing element, and it makes an atmosphere. In this show, the mediums of architecture and artwork are alchemically combined, transforming the perception of space, reflection, shadow and light from the boundaries of two and three-dimensional fields into a living environment. The gallery becomes a glass or a lens through which the art is seen anew.

‘Through a glass, darkly’ carries its audience along an obscured line reflecting through paradoxes, stretching from the artist’s body to the external limits of the walls of the gallery. The space as atmosphere, a looking glass into other worlds within worlds.
