bütün ateşler, ateş
all fires, the fire
“Bütün ateşler, Ateş” Arjantin yazar Julio Cortazar’ın kısa öykü kitabı ile aynı ismi paylaşıyor. Bu isim her birimizin ruhunda yanan ateşi işaret ediyor. Ateş gizemini koruyor. Farklı dinlere mensup pek çok insan kendilerini duyan bir tanrının varlığına inanıyor. Hayatı, tutkuyu ve hareketi doğuran ateş ışığın enerjiye dönüşmesini simgeliyor. Sanatçının kumaşlarla yaptığı yerleştirmesiyle seyirci bu duyguları, görsel algı ile deneyimliyor.
Elizabeth Aro’s work interweaves the emotion of the materials used, such as velvet, brocade, photography, drawings with the dryness of the sensory impact of the approach. The dichotomy that is generated by feelings, emotions and ideas of the individual and the stage of impulses, stress and feelings by means of which the individual moves is the main point which she likes to work on, trying to evoke the hidden energy in the material and letting it play with the human being’s depth. Having engaged elements as diverse as water and fire, her work reproduces familiar visual signs, arranging them into new conceptually layered pieces. In her first PASAJist solo show, these themes are combined by installations that feature the idea the artist has of them juxtaposed with photography and drawings.
