Immersions by Sole Nasi
Immersions is a personal search for the boundary between real and represented space, questioning the impermanence of the body, in contrast to any means of [almost] permanent representation.
In this series of work, the absence of the actual body aims to evoke mortality in the presence of the digitally manipulated portrait. The image contributes to the work by creating an illusion when it is projected on to an impermanent surface, such as water or fi ne powder. The absent body becomes present through an impermanent image, as it changes depending on the position of the bystander. It is the bystander who makes the work real and permanent through his own will, location and presence.
The quietness and silence of a submerged body evokes de idea of mortality against the existing image resting on fine powder.
