Alexandra Lethbridge's 'The Archive of Gesture' at Other Size Gallery, Milan
Other Size Gallery in Milan presents 'The Archive of Gesture,' a solo exhibition by Hong Kong-born artist Alexandra Lethbridge (b. 1987). The series, which won the Belfast Photo Festival 2021, explores the significance of gesture in classical culture and found images. Lethbridge digitally occludes portions of still lifes and trouvé images to highlight how missing elements alter meaning, reflecting on disinformation and misunderstanding. The exhibition, curated by Claudio Composti, features an installation dimension: some photographs are printed on transparent sheets viewable from both sides, simulating the three-dimensionality of sculpture while maintaining photographic flatness. The show is on view at Other Size Gallery in Milan.
