UNCOLLECTIBLE

With Uncollectible, Olga Gabrielle takes another surprising turn in her post-medium approach by employing the industrial manufacture of an art printer (Arte Dos Gráfico in Bogota, Colombia), thus repositioning Terra Incognita as a book/readymade (new work of art) …namely Uncollectible. In this work, the photographic series of Terra Incognita is presented in a large format book case allowing for the, one on one, ritual of unveiling its content.

By doing so, one is able to intimately immerse and experience the haunting images of Terra incognita. Evocative images of human solitude and the incomprehensible vastness of nature. Furthermore, these images are interspaced with additional layers of information and meaning such as intaglio printing of key ideas of the void and silence, as well as, silkscreen details of the artist’s own hair and infused throughout with poetic texts by Olga Gabrielle.
