Descrizione libro Broschiert. Condizione: Sehr gut. 32 S. mit Abb. Gutes Ex. - HEAVEN IS A PLACE ON EARTH SOME RECENT WORKS BY GISELE AMANTEA David Joselit // "Ohhh, heaven is a place on earth." Madonna. Three ornately framed mirrors sandblasted with three related texts, constitute one of Gisèle Amantea's recent works, titled Aporia. "Aporia" means unresolvable doubt, and its significance, like the turnings of a labyrinth, leads to the core of Amantea's art. Aporia produces several types of doubling: it performs the division of the self into body and image; it alludes to the border between life and death; and, on a political level, it introduces the social struggle, identified with feminism, between men and women. The mirror, which divides the self into a physical being and an image, is the most ancient metaphor of representation. In Aporia, Amantea uses the reflective surface to split apart the act of reading: while scanning the texts for their meanings, one loses sight of his or her reflection in the mirror, but when the viewer pauses to gaze at - to read - his or her double, the texts themselves lose focus, disappear, or become mute like hieroglyphs tattooed onto the image of the self. Aporia presents the experience of reading as an always unstable oscillation between an embodied text as perceived by a disembodied reader, and an embodied reader for whom the significance of the text dissolves. The image of the self and the image of language alternate, but can never coexist within the mirror. Such a dynamic, characterized by the appearance and disappearance of the self is accentuated - even radicalized - by the reference to death introduced by the mirror's golden frames of flowers, each handmade by the artist using the techniques of cake decoration. As Amantea has stated, the frames are meant to echo Marsden Hartley's reference in Roses, a painting of 1941, to the practice among sailors in Nova Scotia of commemorating their dead by throwing wreaths of flowers onto the sea.1 The division between body and image, or self and language, which Aporia dramatizes with its mirrors, is gendered and politicized through its juxtaposition of texts. The central mirror supports William Butler Yeats' poem "The White Birds," an urgent, romantic lyric which invokes the ecstasy of escape and freedom through the metamorphosis of love, only to fall back onto the impossibility of this dream.
