The Unlikeness of Things roves the territories where the ambiguities of perception brush up against the unspeakable, or even the fantastical. It is an innermost adventure driven by the unsettling encounter with “the other” inside one’s self.
Inspired by the hauntingly enigmatic work of women artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Kiki Smith, Ghada Amer, and Dorothea Tanning, The Unlikeness of Things offers a precisely related series of small sensory epiphanies: hallucinations, strange visual impressions and experiences. Boundaries and thresholds are constantly crossed in a back-and-forth between inside and out, the body and things, the self and the world. States of being are described as states of matter, or as intermediate, subliminal, current or pathological states of consciousness. “What overflows here is not my flesh but my very presence.”
