In his press release, Kalogiros reveals that he’s interested not only in “the way in which people, places, objects, and time all inform each other in complex and layered ways” but also in the ambiguities of time and the effects of the past on the present. He goes on: “As firmly rooted in a present moment or place as someone or something seems, they always carry with them the residue of the past.”
Totally. Interestingly, the show is about "identity construction," which wasn't necessarily central to my project, but an interesting way to interpret that statement, which kind of negates itself. This interpretation makes me think more of the idea of parallel universes, and the idea that we might exist simultaneously, in some form, in two different places. Like, maybe there's some part of me still living a life in Oakland, California, even though this conscious self is a full-time grad student in Boston.
Hmm...Guess I should see the show.
