Landscapes
06.06.11 24.06.11
Francesca Dubrock was born and raised in Alaska and has been traveling the world since she turned eighteen. As a result, much of her work deals with memory, dislocation, and unfulfilled desire.
In his works, the landscape is transformed into a stage where real and imaginary events come together, creating a world of unreality in which the idea of returning is impossible.
ARTIST TESTIMONY
The Landscapes Project is based on my own literary memories and stories, photographs of explorers, colonizers, and exiles; to examine the idea of being lost or out of place, looking for something that has been left behind or beyond my reach. I am interested in the role of cultural memory in dealing with national traumas, such as conquest, political violence, exile and the change of social identities.
