Touch me, remind me who I am1 is the concurrent presentation of the latest Snehta residents: Kyungmin Sophia Son, Lorna Bauer and Maria Andreou. This presentation develops in a vertebral conformation. The spinal cord of the exhibited artistic practices is the common need to materialize the intangible and the consequent incitement to assimilate the inconspicuous, the tacit. This handle of tactility challenges the authority of the visually perceptible and desires to grasp the immaterial, experiential forces which escape unnoticed but determine subjective realities.
The independently displayed works are launched by different incentives and actualized in distinct forms. Kyungmin Sophia Son (b. 1988, South Korea) works with forms of immersive installation in order to explore the posthuman condition. Lorna Bauer (b. 1980, Canada) works with photography and multi-media sculptural installations that illustrate the imprint of psychogeographical explorations. Maria Andreou (b. 1989, Cyprus) works with the medium of language, underlining the distinction between signifier and signified in the written word.
