Esther Teichmann | IN SEARCH OF LIGHTNING

30 October - 28 November 2015 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris

Teichmann’s practice combines still and moving image, collage and painting to create alternate worlds, which blur autobiography and fiction. Central to the work lies an exploration of the origins of fantasy and desire and how these are bound to experiences of loss and representation. Through a parallel display of photographs or films juxtaposed with fictional sets and women bodies, thousands of stories emerge.

 

Fractal Scars, Salt Water and Tears invites us into a liquid dream–‐like world of desire. Cascading waterfalls and seashells whispering the lapping of waves are juxtaposed with state who seem to be stepping out of the stone from which they are carved.
