Luli Barzman - ‘Fruitopia’
14 August - 13 September 2008
Following studies in film, photography and art history at UCLA, Luli Barzman has produced films, events and photographic series that address issues relating to women’s bodies, with a particular emphasis on surrealism and contemporary dance, alongside formal research on colour. Luli lives and works in Paris.
Luli’s starkness of means brings forth a richness of meanings.
The black background, the void of all beginnings and endings, sets off the fruit in tension with the body, propelling evocations of skin, flesh, organs, viscera and the inescapable cycle of life and death.
Before our eyes, a new world is born, a world where each person can be at peace with him or herself: a Fruitopia!
It’s fitting that these photographs should be shown at the View Two Gallery, which was once a banana warehouse, when Mathew Street was teeming with such fruit and vegetable warehouses. This exhibition is a reminder of Liverpool’s essence as a place of exchange of richly varied produce and cultures.
