Seeing, Being Seen, Being

Faculty member Susan Sgorbati choreographed a site-specific gallery performance at and inspired by colleague Liz Deschenes’s photograms at the Institute of Contemporary Art. The performance, by faculty member Elena Demyanenko, will explore variations of light, color, and reflected image in seeing, being seen, being. Sgorbati and Demyanenko collaborated to utilize fluid movement and evocative stillness to inspire new possibilities of reflection and perception among the reflective surfaces of Deschenes’s work.

 “[M]any of my photograms take on the rooms they’re exhibited in as a viewing device, where the viewers can actually see themselves seeing and can have a clearer understanding of the object’s construction—as well as of their own perception.” —Liz Deschenes
