until 19.10. | #4384ARTatBerlin | Robert Morat Galerie shows from 07. September 2024 the exhibition “Plates I-XXXI” by the artist Lia Darjes.
For her new series Plates I-XXXI, Lia Darjes arranges an experiment on the subject of still lifes. While she sets the ‘stage’ for these pictures, the main aspect is chance:
Plate V, 2023, Pigment print, 40 x 50 cm
‘For my new work, I invite myself to eat and drink in the gardens and on the terraces of my friends. The place settings on the garden table become the basis of a still life through my intervention. After I leave, a camera remains behind as a passive observer for a few hours or whole days. It is triggered by movement when birds or wild animals visit the table. In this way, images are created where it is not clear whether it is a documented scene or an arranged still life. I find it fascinating to combine the staged and the accidental in one picture. Plates is a semi-documentary still life study dedicated to the grey area between the habitats of humans and wild animals,’ explains the artist.
Opening: Friday, 06. September 2024, 6 pm.
Exhibition dates: Saturday, 07. September until Saturday, 19. October 2024
