At first sight II, una foto-instalación de Denise Lira-Ratinoff
“at first sight” is based on a search to discover the senses through the emotions of a first glance.It is a meeting of the senses produced by facing the unpredicted. We absorb the observation and the memory of the unpredicted becomes part of oneself.
Sometimes, we look without observing and neglect to see the world around us, and consequently we fail to see within ourselves.
“at first sight” invites the viewer to experience an unfamiliar place.The viewer is lead from one image to the next and finally to an imaginary image which allows for an encounter with a visual perception stemming from memory.
“at first sight II” is a trilogy of time, space and audience, presented on three different platforms: a book, this website and a photo-installation.
Through photographs of melting and receding glaciers, this trilogy witnesses the immense environmental devastation that is occuring on our planet.
The intention of “at first sight II” is to revisit these environments as they melt into the past and question the public awareness of the importance of time, life and death.
Simultaneously with the site-specific photo-installation and the book launch, on Saturday March 8, 2008, at 6PM this website will show more images.
“at first sight II” presents a photo-installation for a limited time of 6 hours only.
The installation space is a LOADING DOCK which will allow all passers-by and cars to see within the exhibition..This non-traditional space, which was specially chosen for the exhibition, will remain in its original condition in order to allow a sensory experience relevant to the images.
More than explaining it, those who wish to experiment with a different sight should experience it.
On Saturday, March 8, 2008 from 6 PM to Midnight, “at first sight II” will feature this ONE NIGHT ONLY site-specific photo-installation.
