FAB Curated Show, The Octagon

Artist: Elizabeth Molin

Dates & times: opening night Friday May 28th, 6-9pm. Open Saturday May 29th - Saturday June 12th, 11am - 5pm; Sunday June 13th 11am - 3pm.

Elisabeth Molin’s photographs explore different ways of thinking about and looking at reality. These different views are inspired by dreams, lies vs. truths and anecdotes. Through the use of props and actors she alters our perception of urban spaces and mental spaces. She explores different means of playing with reality, these means often being backwards or paradoxical.

By changing and modifying the existing spaces, new contexts and opportunities are created for perceiving the spaces and reality differently for a moment: a momentary alteration of perception. She uses photography as a narrative that has paused. It becomes an abstract moment where the individual and the body are central. The individual person is the main focus and each photograph can also be seen as a portrait of that person. Some people try to escape reality, on the contrary, Molin seeks the humorous, the surreal and the paradoxical in reality.
