Studio Seine presents the solo exhibition 'Echo of Home' by Lise Lou Sore. The opening event is on January 23, from 19:00-21:30 H.
In Echo of Home, Lise Lou Sore unfolds a monumental installation in which self-portraits on transparent cotton blend with the echo of the landscape in which Sore grew up. Born in Niger as the child of expat parents, Sore grew up in the warmth of a close-knit community before an abrupt move to the Netherlands. This uprooting and constant adaptation became a recurring theme in their work. Their transparent self-portraits float in space, shifting with their surroundings and offering an immersive encounter with vulnerability. Echo of Home is an invitation to wander through the inner landscape and reread memories.
The inner human world, with all its shifting moods, is a recurring theme in Lise Lou Sore’s work. With their gigantic nude self-portraits in chalk on cheese-cloth, Sore explores the experience of extreme emotion – feelings that are universally recognisable, yet feel profoundly solitary when lived through.
