Lecture-performance: A Stratigraphy of Vision by ๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒหณยทหโถ๐ฉ. 17 June at 7 PM โถ Aksioma | Project Space .๐ชโถหยทหณ.
In a world saturated with conflicting visual stimuli and characterized by an ever-shrinking attention span, visual artist and researcher ๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ invites us to reflect on which images truly deserve our attention. She does so by developing a discourse around a single 3D architectural rendering taken from the extensive visual output of NEOM, the smart city and special economic zoneโnot yet built in the province of Tabukโwhich constitutes the central element of Saudi Arabiaโs โVision 2030โ and its post-oil diversification program.
In the lecture-performance ๐ด ๐๐ก๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐๐โ๐ฆ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐, premiered at the Aksioma Project Space, Tafeche guides us through the stratigraphy of the chosen image, revealing layer by layer what the image seeks to conceal. Beneath its seductive, meticulously produced architectural splendorโoften structurally implausibleโlies a carefully engineered opacity that disciplines perception and prepares acceptance rather than describing reality.
