(๐.๐.๐. ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐ธ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ / ๐.๐.๐. ๐ด๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐) Exhibited Aug 20th - Sept 5th at @lelivart for @mutekmontreal Daylight renders this sculptural installation highly reflective, it mirrors people, their environment. In a way, the sculpture fades into its surroundings. At night however, the semi-transparent two-way mirror doesnโt reflect as much, thus letting the inner lighting define the shape of the sculpture.ย Seldom ostracized by society, with limited visibility and support, queer, trans, and people of color can often feel like they donโt belong. At night, home and safe within their community, they can truly be themselves and shine their true light.ย Here the dichotomy of night and day here symbolizes how alienated people might choose to camouflage into society by reflecting what it wants to see. The sculptural shape of this polygonal installation reverences the vulva. Large in size, it is staged as an imposing yet graceful monolith, defying societyโs oppression and inculcating respect. For the artist, representing the vulva is a symbolic gesture, referencing Pierre Courbetโs Lโorigine du Monde (The Origin of the World) and protesting the disproportionate presence of male genitalia against femaleโs in popular culture, tv, movies and art. By choosing the symbol of the feminine organ, the artist creates a correlation between femininity and the inner strength this organ possesses.ย ๐ท @alxbellavance Congrats to the @mutekmontreal team and thank you for your support ๐ . . . #infinityvulva #thisisavulva #vulvart #vulvaart #areflectionontheinvisible #fromdigitaltophysical #sculpture #multimediaart #multimediasculpture #infinitymirrors #interactivesculpture #mutek #mutekmontreal (at Le Livart) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUbVSSXMBmJ/?utm_medium=tumblr
