Filmmakers Galleries will present a new site-specific photography installation, Doppel Ganger by Fumino Hora, on view from August 1 through September 14, 2008. An opening reception will be held on Friday, August 1 from 5:30 - 8:00pm. It is free and open to the public.
The installation consists of photographic transfers on fabric and paper, digital prints, laser-cuts, etchings and sculpture. Hora feels that the costume acts as an inquiry into the identity or existence of the “doppel ganger,” a German term for second self, or ghostly double. Transparency and emptiness are important elements of this identity, echoing its invisible nature. While many understand this concept as a kind of psychological alter ego, Hora says an additional interpretation is more of a spiritual one. In her native country of Japan, it’s believed that “spirits possess extraordinary power,” she explains. “Their existence is beyond the tangible world.” For more about Fumino Hora, visit fuminoart.com
