Liliana Porter’s Memorabilia presents highlights from a celebrated and dedicated artistic career of giving voice to the everyperson. Through the use of found inanimate objects, Porter highlights the human condition as fragile and curious, yet full of wonder.
Activated by the viewer, these characters are cast in vignettes that theatricalize the trials and tribulations of society depicted through an almost incomprehensive range of human emotion.
Presented in a variety of mediums including painting, photography, drawing, installation assemblage, collage and video, these oft forgotten - but most likely once adored - ceramic ducks, plastic soldiers, porcelain dolls and such like, are reanimated with purpose.
