THEA McGRATH.
“VIEW2021” is PhotoAccess’ annual award exhibition showcasing the work of 11 emerging and re-emerging artists from across the region.
The works deeply reflect a year like no other, depicting an inward gaze as the world around became smaller and people were forced to slow down. The exhibition is quietly confident yet bold, a testimony to each artist’s tenacity and determination to continue to make.
Sofia Dimarhos’s work, “Physique” is a series of three sculptural images accompanied by a video work on an opposite wall. Her works are close-ups of the human body on high-shine paper. The video is also a close-up viewing and is equally sensual, mesmerising and repulsive, that I found myself going back for a second viewing.
