Saudade (Albany)
Date
9 November 2021 - 7 December 2021
Place
Albany Town Hall, Albany, WA
Description

The work in Saudade is a continuation of Elisa Markes-Young’s previous work that dealt with memory, the unreliability of our recollections and the question of what and where is home. It picks up elements of the old work, rearranges them and expands on them resulting in imagery that is intended to convey the feeling of bitter-sweet melancholy that the Poles call ‘tęsknota’.
