Georgia

REARMIRRORVIEW, Simulation is Simulation, is Simulation, is Simulation... Anna K.E. has conceived a new architectural environment and video installation for the Georgia Pavilion. Equal parts public stage, ascending and descending tribunal platform, communal fountain, and sculptural object of observation, her structure recalls a matrix of digital pixels, transporting viewers into an environment that recalls a sleek synthetic model. Interspersed throughout are a compendium of K.E.’s videos and steel faucet-like sculptures, which circulate water, and are based on the original Georgian alphabet. Her videos often feature her own body as protagonist – restricted, contorted, or isolated – often pointing toward an evolving interdependency between our corporeal and digital selves.
