About the event
About the Exhibition:
In There Was a Restlessness, Ramona Pratte digs into the obscured and the buried, interrogating what keeps us from discovering ourselves. The exhibit includes a wide array of work, including paintings, cyanotype, and sound design. With her usual penchant for theatrics, Pratte invites you into a world of abandoned industrial buildings, underground tunnels, geological anomalies, and mysterious floating women.
Ramona's work sits at the intersection of time, decay, and rebirth, and asks if our human desire for control disrupts the interplay between them. She interrogates these themes by weaving time and its effects into her work. By supplying a loam of history, she invites the viewers into an ecosystem of human impermanence, one that turns the viewer into a witness of the tyranny of the physical, as well as the healing and annihilating forces of time.
