A collection of pictures from Adrian Geller’s most up-to-date exhibition with Super Dakota in Brussels. Geller is a Swiss artist at present based mostly in Paris. His work typically really feel pulled from folklore and legendary tales of heroes touring via re-imagined worlds each acquainted but indifferent from our personal. Just like the way in which wherein we navigate environmental crises in disparate methods, the connection between Geller’s human topics and the pure world that surrounds them doesn’t at all times seem completely constant or symbiotic. Geller’s poetic assertion for the present:
“When earthly silence invades the stage, lights vivid on useless actors’ recreation,
they burn out whites of rosy pores and skin after they lookup and out on sinking tides.
And falling leaves of yellowed vines stare out of consolation and sweetness’s eyes.
In deeply troubled and unsettled time, a filling thought invades one’s thoughts.
The considered talking, nonetheless, to dwelling, rotten tenderness.
The leaves decaying beneath silvery frost, odor of regret and lack of belief.
Because the scream of jays in oaks, hole sounds and revolting ideas
Thus makes us consider helpless cries, of youngsters, untamed and wild,
battling nature’s merciless affray, completely different varieties, like a wave of sine, lifeless and alive,
populations of angels and devils decline. A speech, quiet in quantity however loud in thought, spills over the sting of a candy little cup, and burns over the spectators’ row of the makeshift marionette present.
Aside from all that, you and I, eye to eye, beneath water and over ice
Depend on flickering bursts of hyperlinks within the night time,
The chook, to talk in heavenly rhymes,
The cat, to speak in thriller strains,
The fish, to by no means speak in any respect
And the river, to swash us over,
As soon as and for all.”
