A panel of mirrors that reveal and conceal, showing how lives are lived in fragments, when the viewer looks into the mirror one doesn’t see a whole person, but many fragments and partitions.
In Andrianomearisoa’s work, the complex monochromatic metaphors between light and dark, clear sight and obscurity, make reference not only to the complex journey of human emotions, between love and disappointment, but also alludes to the difficulties of translation and understanding between different languages and cultures. Is a translation ever completed? The message always remains partly incommunicable, partly fragmentary.
