On May 16th, FIFI projects opens the doors of their New York location with the group show entitled 'Crown Of The Lost'.
The show's main focus is the foreboding aspects of nature and the inevitable decay of beauty through the exploration of behavioral aspects of biological and technological ecosystems and environments, their development, peaks, and ultimately their breakdowns.
The work of Mathias Kessler uses high-powered motion picture lighting to separate portions of nature, resulting in incredible detail and an entirely new sculpturesque vision of landscapes; a modulated reality. In the pieces done in Ilulissat, Greenland, Kessler raises questions regarding unspoiled nature -which now seems little more than musings from 18th century memoirs and literature. In fact, the concept of untouched nature presents a unique modern conundrum in the sense that nature is only marked by discovery, and as such, exposed and prone to change as soon as it is discovered.
The work of Debra Holt and Eliud Carrizales follows in this sense of natural context, yet viewed from under a foreboding light; the almost baneful and threatening images are nature re structured, under a bleak outlook.
Christoph Morlinghaus explores the decay - and preservation - of nature by artificial means; the creation of Bio Domes which encapsulate biomes with their communities of plants, animals, and soil organisms. In the future, when a new, technological nature will have replaced a biological one, these man-made domes could act as museum displays of a virtually destroyed past.
The work of Hugo Lopez is concerned with the parallel development of phenomena both in meteorological context as well as man-made structures. The lateral, juxtaposed images reveal similar patterns in behavior from artificial and natural intelligences.
Julie Pike and Giovanni Cervantes are concerned with the existence - and decay - of human beauty and how it relates directly to the influence of external influences; the inevitable knowledge that, like every other ecosystem and environment, it will all wilt and collapse.
Giovanni Cervantes (Mexico), Mathias Kessler (Austria), and Christoph Morlinghaus (Germany) live and work in New York. Eliud Carrizales (Mexico), Debra Holt (USA), and Hugo Lopez (Mexico) live and work in Miami. Julie Pike (Norway) lives in Oslo.
