You've red between the lines, Italy 2003
|
|
We perceive the color red in different ways. For many New Yorkers these days red means "high alert". Terror creates anxieties that suspend reality and blur our vision and judgment. We stop trusting our perceptions and move into a simulated hyper-reality created by mass media. Aller plays off this notion with her work and consciously puts the viewer into a position where s/he has to interpret the duplicity of their meanings.
The work, represented by nine large color photos and two videos is creating a discourse about the multiplicity of our audio/visual conceptions, using the color red as a metaphor and softly seduces the viewer to experience the sensuality as well as the raw emotions of the works.
