Alexandra Pace has been invited to exhibit in EUROPEAN NIGHT – Photographical Identities of Europe, consisting of a night of photographic projections on a public industrial site in Arles, France. This event is being organised by "Rencontres de la Photographie d'Arles".
Alexandra Pace's project entitled AQUARIUM is a series of photographs depicting urban life created using a plastic fish-eye lens camera. This collection is made up of urban scenes, abstract creations and movement. The concept behind this project is that of pseudo fish bowls depicting different scenes from city life. As an outsider looking in, the viewer is invited to look into these little windows of other’ people’s worlds.
This unique event will be presenting a wide panorama of contemporary photographical creation in the 27 member-states of the European Union. It will take place on the night of July 9th 2008 in Arles, France. Each of the 27 countries will be represented by three photographers, through a selection of 20 to 30 of their works. The selections will be presented to the public by night on various large-screen projections dispatched on the vast industrial site (former railway industry area) of "Parc des Ateliers" in Arles. In addition to the EUROPEAN NIGHT, all the photographic material will be gathered into one exhibition, presented during the Rencontres d'Arles 2008 until September 14th. In order to present a plural vision of European photographical creation, we do not expect a particular subject although we are generally more turned towards emerging young artists and contemporary photography.".
Alexandra Pace is a founding partner of LAB1977 and she will be one of the three photographers representing Malta as one of the 27 EU member-states. |
