248 Mercer St. (3rd & 4th Sts.), NYC
Opening Reception: Friday, May 8th, 7pm – 9pm
Piece by Serge Van Lian and Alan Gastelum
Title: leggomyego
Medium: Photograph on Canvas, Glass, Chrome Clamps
24 X 36
Concept:
The idea is to show people how much ego, our social mask, can really
dominate and ultimately hurt our lives. In the photograph there is a
girl sitting on a fainting sofa examining her skin through a vanity
mirror, completely concerned about her appearance with no regard for
what's going on around her. She's insecure, unhappy, unable to give,
and completely lost.
We captured her in this state, attached her photo to the canvas, and
sealed it in with glass held by chome clamps so the viewer could see
their own reflection in every part of the piece. Finally, we wrote
"leggomyego" on the glass with a white wax pencil to emphasize the
objective. The clamps that hold the glass tightly onto the canvas
represent how strongly we latch onto our ego, and how difficult it is
to let it go.
