Insomnia #7: Oskar Alvarado

840,00 € – 1200,00 €

“It’s always good to see conceptual responses to a topic and this image, from a series exploring insomnia, is a great example. Capturing both the weightlessness of a dream state and the tedium and claustrophobia of sleeplessness (with the lump in the sheets perhaps being the body of a peacefully sleeping lover) there’s something beguiling about this scene – something ethereal and in tune with the feelings it sets out to describe. Alvarado’s control of lighting is sumptuous, and the decision to stage it in what feels like a gallery setting is an intriguing one that further plays with ideas of perception.” – Life Framer

Description

Alvarado explores his personal experience with insomnia, where biological interruption of nocturnal sleep ritual gives way to a new territory of confluences. The moment in which consciousness and unconsciousness meet, where reality and fiction blur boundaries and coexist in the mind in a recreation of two parallel worlds that conform our identity. The transition between what we see to be and our true self, which becomes visible in privacy. The reality of each person, sometimes disturbing, takes possession of his soul in the gloom of night. Awake souls who become inhabitants of a space-time do not usually frequent. Where reminiscences of the past are mixed with frustrations, imaginary ghosts and appellants fears head towards us to a future of changing contours. People trapped in unwanted lives, people who maybe try to flee from themselves, they definitively abandon themselves or who roam aimlessly through unconcrete spaces in a sort of scenery of fragilities. Images that buil a dreamlike world, disturbing. Fragments of life staged at night, in the complicity of night lights of the city or in the apparent calm of anonymous rooms.
