THE LITTLE DEATH


COLLAGIST
- THE GALLERY PREMISES

Curated by Leigh-Anne Niehaus


Our most common daily escape is sleep. We can lose our Selves in dreams, in nightmares, in orgasm (la petite mort - the little death)

Inspired by distinctive nightmare features of Dark Romanticism (the supernatural, the incubus, the horse, subversive love, death) these collage pieces relate to our current promiscuous age: contemporary eroticism. A surreal perverse multiform. We wish to liberate our Selves from the terrors - or understand the terrors that never leave us.
