TRANSFIGURATIONS

For the month of October at Echo Arts gallery, the living spectator was invited to accompany the dead on the journey into the afterlife. ‘Tranfigurations’ was an all-encompassing installation, featuring the work of Talissa Mehringer and Laekun Foto, and was loosely based on the traditions of Samhain, or All Hallow’s Eve, during which the veil between life and death is at its thinnest. With life-size soul drones, a series of large creature sculptures, vignettes and environments from beyond, soundscapes- as well as photo, video, paintings, and a variety of other two and three dimensional artwork- TM and Laekun Foto presented a surreal opportunity to cross over and explore.
