- Summary
- The first monographic exhibition dedicated to the work of Ana Torfs (Belgium 1963) in America. From the dialectic between image and text, the artist's work delves into the act of perception to investigate the implicit historical conventions that accompany it. In his production, Torfs explores the dichotomy between what we visualize and what we know or think we know. Beyond a taxonomic process of ordering and classifying reality, the artist investigates the very conformation of knowledge that arises from the language and colonial structures that are derived. References as diverse as psychology, shadow theatre, literature, sign language, botany or travel logs serve to deepen language as a hegemonic structure and to propose a fabric of relationships that permeate our experience.
