“A journey hoping to be tomorrow’s. A journey towards another situation or perhaps the same one. One that still is not exhausted, one described only by its first traces, which don’t provide the keys to its future. And which remains mysterious. Almost like an unsuccessful triumph. Why doesn’t this black curtain with ethereal transparency float? The black curtain is a lace veil over reality, concern passing over the features of a loved face. A proclamation of a mourned love? A mourned friendship? A mourned memory? And there are no geographies in the world as good as where I am going to take you.”Across three levels of the MCA, Joël Andrianomearisoa’s textile installation weaves a multi-storied trail that resonates with his companion piece in the Court Galleries of the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Here his textiles veil and drift between solid descriptions of space, shifting an experience of the galleries that plays with our perceptions, and what we can and can’t see. Time is void in Andrianomearisoa’s installations; the layered textiles quietly invoking memory and emotion.
