MATERIALS: Upcycled Fabric, Yarn, Ink - Hanging Installation

SIZE: 30cm x 30cm

ARTIST STATEMENT: During the pandemic, I found myself with ample time to explore and repurpose items lying dormant in my home. I embarked on a journey of creativity, and it dawned upon me as I discovered the immense potential for artistic expression with whatever materials were at my disposal. By embracing the ethos of repurposing and creating with whatever we have, we not only breathe new life into forgotten objects but also foster a culture of ingenuity and resilience.

ARTIST: Rhiannon Hopley (Australia)

MEDIUM: Digital Colour Photographic Print (01/03)

SIZE: 400mm x 600mm

ARTIST STATEMENT:

Sulo, Showroom and For Lease are part of my ‘Discovering Locations’ series, which explores the relationship between nature, the urban landscape and the human condition. Through the allure and otherworldliness of twilight and darkness, the works from this series evoke questions about the past and our present relationship with these sites of memory while also drawing attention to the peaceful beauty of the too-often lost stories these places hold. Each work is titled with a name but also given the geographical coordinates of the location. This embeds a sense of place in the world, more literally, while I also hope to encourage others to go out and seek, to explore the world around them and to look at their surroundings in a new and or different light."

Based in Sydney, Australia, Rhiannon Hopley is a multidisciplinary artist exploring the interconnected themes of placemaking, identity and the relationship between nature, the urban landscape, and the human condition, through photography, moving image, projection and installation. Recipient of the 2013 Gosford Art Prize in photography and commended in 2015, she's been a finalist in prestigious awards like Fisher’s Ghost Art Award, Ballarat International Foto Biennale, Percival Photographic Portrait Prize, and The Alice Prize. Rhiannon’s work has been shown at international art fairs and exhibitions across 18 countries. Her pieces are held in collections worldwide, including The National Library of Australia and private collections in Australia, Canada, USA, and France.

Luigerman is a creator, artist and photographer from Cucuta. He has taken his work to different cultures, participating in artistic projects that allow communities to express themselves and be architects of changes in their spaces, environments and dynamics.

He has worked with large-format, high-impact photographic installations and coordinated global art platforms through his own physical spaces and social networks. Among these, he works on the initiatives of the Inside Out project, an art platform that invites communities around the world to be protagonists of their own artistic processes, generating dialogues, transforming spaces and revolutionizing their worlds, the organization 100Cameras and the MicroGalleries artistic collective. The journey continues, connecting with communities in Nepal, Iraq, Brazil and Colombia with projects to which he gives his sensitive view of the world, using photography as a tool of expression, dialogue, awareness and recognition.
