The solo exhibition “On the Edge of Perception” by the young artist Elizabete Andersone will transform the space into a portal to visitors’ memories and associations.
In her work, the artist explores peripheral experiences – elements that we perceive without even really noticing them. How often do unconscious memory cues slip past us in our daily lives? Even when they remain in the background, they leave an imprint on our perception of reality.
At the heart of the exhibition will be an immersive installation that transforms our usual sense of space and the relationship between up and down, whilst focusing on the triggers of involuntary memory and the process of becoming aware of the viewer’s presence.
Elizabete Andersone is inspired by the mechanisms of memory and phenomenology, the relationships between attention, space and bodily experience in relation to the surrounding environment. The artist’s previous installation, “Ode to the Unnoticed”, which was based on her personal experience of involuntary memory, won the BDO Young Artist Award 2025.
In her new installation at the RCAS, the artist expands the range of the visitor’s experience, interweaving the effects of light and sound with bodily experience within the space.
