In this anticipated new body of work, The View (Melbourne), Laura di Florio continues to explore notions of time, space, place and memory through layered photographic acrylic panels. Her subject is part of a broader project involving the documentation of four major cityscapes around the world. Here, the city exposed is the artists’ hometown, Melbourne. The primary question asked by di Florio is, “what makes a city- its influences, its energy and how does the memory of a city continue to exist after you leave?” Employing photography, mirror, Perspex and
printmaking techniques di Florio layers and hides her images to
create intimate and atmospheric spaces. The individual images may
include urban streets, parklands, freeways, waterways, and sky.
Combined, through di Florio’s technique, they are transformed-
illustrating the “interior space of memory, emotion and the
experience of that particular place.” When viewed as a group, these
constructed panels of various sizes come to reflect a new and
imagined skyline of Melbourne. |
