FotoFest Is Near

Announcements for Fotofest are starting to be seen. Individual Artist Award Grant recipient Sergio Santos promise a mysteriously glooming composition excited by Kelly Gale Amen. I am awaiting to perceive the expression of their jointed melodies.

Agustina’s Little Polymorphous: where minimalism is transformed by Freud.

Agustina Nuñez’s Little Polymorphous drives between the minimalist trace and Falkor from The Neverending Story. Her simplistic forms navigate through the space in fantastic childish imagery. It covers four walls with the interplay of images. As I walked in I was faced with a dragon with a hand-shaped tail painted with yellow, blue, red and black. The dragon was about to swallow a little boy with his boxing gloves. On the opposed wall there where two cradles that are meant to be left alone in the despair of repressed libido. She translates’ Freud’s theory with aid of a minimalist composition. Little Polymorphous is a mural at DiverseWorks which the title instigates our repressed sexual fantasies, not necessarily those which are composed by children, but those in the middle of the absurd.
