In the exhibition FLOATING SPACES, we encounter familiar places from the urban and natural landscape: luxurious shopping streets, ordinary underground stations, the forest or the sea. Yet these familiar images from our memory elude their usual accessibility. In Kemsa’s works, these otherwise familiar places appear strangely alienating, unrealistically theatrical, exaggeratedly surreal, or else blurred, soft focused and nebulous – almost abstract. Gudrun Kemsa sees her photographic and video
installations as an aesthetic extension of everyday perception and, as such,
as a way of rediscovering the familiar.
