Metabolism : Hugo Michell Gallery
It’s been a long time coming,
a big solo show, and now it’s so nice to say it’s here, to send an invitation:
Stanislava Pinchuk
Metabolism : The City Coming Together & The City Coming Apart
Hugo Michell Gallery
Opening Night : June 5, 6-8 pm : until July 5
260 Portrush Rd : Adelaide : Australia
‘Metabolism’ maps how a city functions. How quickly & efficiently its’ residents come together, come apart and navigate common space.
It is the rate at which a city grows, transforms, re-builds ; a biological process.
In this exhibition this is mapped across two cities ; Tokyo & Kiev – both homes for Miso.
The first half shows Tokyo forming ; a metropolis growing in the air, forming within webs and mountains, turning into fireworks.
It is mapped from aerial algorithms of bodies coming into train stations and public spaces, parties and peaceful protests, in its
remarkable order.
The second half live-maps recent violence in Ukraine ; the bodies of protesters coming together within images of bomb blasts,
bullet holes and shattered glass. It maps militias forming and civilian deaths, and each work was updated every morning, over the course
of the last months – following all possible news sources from home. A city coming apart in the air.
‘Metabolism’ is about watching two homes from a distance, growing & collapsing in their own ways.
