Description
LSSIISLTENNT is a solo exhibition by Manila based artist PoklongAnading. Anading is interested to capture the moment of tension in between ends before they slip to each own tendencies. Whatever it might be in a particular situation of a place and transpose it to somewhere else. Anading prefers to place the audiences in being in between state as a way to experience themselves.
The exhibition title LSSIISLTENNT takes direct reference from the act of listening and to be silent. The coupling of these two words focuses on the slippage between the two, it is only when we listen carefully and hear nothing that we start to understand the very nature of our inner voices. LSSIISLTENNT conveys a transitory state of simultaneous translation and contemplation, action and inaction, participation and observation, in an attempt to place the audiences on the verge of enlightenment. Muteness invites us to rethink our ties with time, space and our movement and the elements that make us human.
In this solo show, Anading exhibits a compilation of video, photography and installation. Highlights include Without With III (Black & Gold) – an installation of fans circulating gold spray-painted plastic bags and Untitled (caskets), 2009 – an installation that utilizes plastic moldings of daily objects previously shown at the 2009 Jakarta Art Biennale.
