'Creole Collidoscope', Hadassah Emmerich solo show at PLUS-ONE Gallery in Antwerp
We are happy to share the news of Hadassah Emmerich's latest solo show, opening this week in Antwerp with PLUS-ONE Gallery.
In Creole Collidoscope, Emmerich alludes to the exotification of images, cultures and personal stories. The show's title refers to the kaleidoscope, the visual artefact that mixes and rearranges several individual parts in unexpected compositions for the delight of the eye. The artist blends the words collision and kaleidoscope to imagine an instrument that becomes a tool for collision through its visual function. Associating this new word with the notion of creolisation, Emmerich proposes paintings as optical devices that present the world and its movements from a particular perspective in a singular moment.
