EXHIBITION SURDITAS - LEIPZIG, SPINNEREI
The cycle of paintings called Surditas (lat. deafness) is a form of metamorphosis, which indicates deafness as a problem of communication in society. An increasing inert evolution reduces social communication to the minimum and eliminates the interaction, such as that one from a dream. Since the today’s ideological-connotative sphere seals everything, the communication simply can’t be heard and we can only feel it. For this reason, the cycle of the presented paintings transmits this emotion through the feeling of levitation and the lack of gravity, and the accentuated orchestration of the ear in the paintings fulfills one component of the painting’s soundness.
The interpretation of surditas is a consideration of the iconic, subjective, narrative, as well as the psychological, symbolic or metaphorical tissue of the painting. The levitation and the state of the catatonia, which are symbolized by certain segments in the paintings, represent the expression in one specific pictorial language. Surditas, in the visual representation, becomes the carrier of a layered and notional subtext. A three-paintings cycle will suggest attitudes about one kind of the internal transmission which achieves a specific form of the dream tautology.
