Analog Dreams


25. AUG – 25. SEP. 2021





“Dreaming in analog illustrates mining for rare gold in a digital Renaissance and holding it in your hand. It represents the entropy of decay, science’s phenomenon of causation and the connectivity of the decomposition network. Taking serendipity, making a wish on a dragonfly and sending in on its wildlife journey to gently touch the world around it.” by Monique Sullivan


Featuring a dreamlike world of works, this exhibition consists of Polaroid instant photo works that show a festival of various colors.

Monique Sullivan’s polaroid series is an experimental work based on research of contemporary photography. Focusing on abstract colors, her photo works visualize her inner images based on characteristics of pictorial photos like paintings.

The experimental way of expression through the trace of time shows organic techniques and flat color-field abstract way of expression through impromptu expression and chemical reactions of photo materials. Such surreal world of the artist is expressing symbolically her subjective feelings in abstract colors. The “flow of time” refers to the time that Sullivan expressed as time passed while she was making photo works by applying natural elements. That way she is inspiring vitality through the illusion of space and time based on artistic spirit and life experiences, making the audience experience visual reactions. As a result, Sullivan’s surreal world of dreams is newly expanded through her works.
