Chefas Projects is delighted to current Virtually Younger, a sequence of latest work by Emily Kepulis. By means of illuminated scenes that embody a well-recognized stillness, Virtually Younger meditates on the pliability of time – particularly its potential to droop and remodel us – and the way our notion of it influences our experiences of the whole lot.
For Kepulis, the in-between moments of life – typically neglected as quotidien or mundane – maintain the ability to cost our human expertise simply as a lot as the numerous ones. Reveling within the quiet areas between one second and the following, Kepulis paints luscious scenes that are inclined to a sure specialness present in liminality: a drying sheet on a clothesline animated by a breeze, the nice and cozy mild of both a dawn or sundown dappled on leaves of a home plant, a goose in mid-flight. Her topics are each coming and going, neither right here nor there, discovering themselves by way of the transition.
Whereas she references household photographs, her personal previous work, and even nameless discovered photographs, Kepulis composes every portray with belief and instinct, permitting its remaining kind to reach by way of her observations and reflections. Virtually Younger explores how the issues round us that discover us in these quiet moments form our perceptions of ourselves and the way we hook up with the bigger image as an entire.
