Artist Reception: Saturday, April 7th | 6pm-8pm

For their spring exhibition, Themes+Projects presents “Epitaphs” by Pavlina Ecclesiarhou. Initially drawn to dioramas she found in Natural History museums, because of the dramatic tension between illusion and representation. The animals felt lifelike set in meticulously constructed idyllic environments, frozen in time, and most likely already altered by now. It was later on, while reading their individual stories, that she understood that there was a sub text, what one sees when reading between the lines. By presenting these monochromatic photographs of animals with hand painted and drawn interventions, she invites the viewer to stop and experience a moment of uncertainty and to contemplate the silent stories of these animals.
