Igor Eskinja's 'Meditations on the Horizon' at Galleria Federico Luger
Igor Eskinja's solo exhibition 'Meditations on the Horizon' at Galleria Federico Luger in Milan (2019) comprises two photographic cycles and a light-emitting sculpture. The sculpture assembles empty comic-style speech bubbles into a totem, evoking communication without content and the constant presence of electricity. The photographs use anamorphosis and folded paper to blur boundaries between image and object. The exhibition space is painted with a gradient from dark to light, transforming the white cube into a traversable horizon. Eskinja discusses his studio as a laboratory for experiments, with the exhibition as the definitive moment for the works. He contrasts the physical horizon with the limitless digital world, aiming to create a collective meeting point in an era of virtual spaces.
