Assume Vivid Astro Focus's Site-Specific Installation in Palermo
The artist duo Assume Vivid Astro Focus, composed of Eli Sudbrack and Christophe Hamaide-Pierson, has created a site-specific project titled 'Isola Isola' at Galleria Pantaleone in Palermo, Sicily. The work explores the concept of insularity and Sicilian identity through a meta-artistic message that incorporates local craftsmanship, using white plaster and gridded canvases typical of stucco workers, enriched with the island's vibrant colors. The installation evokes pages blowing in the wind, colored leaves, handkerchiefs of emerged lands, and foamy waves, all dominated by Sicily's powerful light. The project is rooted in the duo's philosophy of freedom to share knowledge in an age of internet connectivity. The exhibition is on view in 2018.
