For this exhibition, I constructed a transitional space that evokes the interior of a theatrical stage or a religious architectural structure - a space suspended between reality and fantasy. Within this setting, four works representing my own personas function as stage devices, forming a mise-en-scène. Throughout the space, Gregorio Allegri’s Miserere mei was played on repeat.

The four works are composed of elements collected from structures that create fissures between reality and fantasy, such as the stage, literature, poetry, and mythology.

Miserere mei takes the form of a religious triptych, resembling a kind of puppet theatre. In its lower section are depicted the most human of dramas: six scenes of tragedy, along with Adam and Eve - the first tragedy. The work is structured as an ascent: from the human to the celestial, from image to text, ultimately converging at a single point.

The Tin Man is a portrait inspired by the tin man from The Wizard of Oz. 

Cherub is a mixed-media work depicting one of the three types of angels described in the Bible closest to God, rendered in the form of a marionette. Like Miserere mei, The Tin Man and Cherub are separated from the surrounding space by their own frames (picture frame, wing-like epaulet), each establishing its own autonomous stage.

Limbo is based on the first circle of Hell in Dante’s Divine Comedy. Constructed from a combination of colored and transparent glass, it takes the cylindrical form reminiscent of a column ornament in religious architecture. It has a velvet circle under, same material used as curtain throughout the space, which symbolises the spotlight of a theatre.
