The solo exhibition “On the Edge of Perception” by young artist Elizabete Andersone will transform the space into a portal to the experience of physical stimuli, a shift in attention, and possible flashes of involuntary memory.
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.
The exhibition consists of an immersive installation that reconstructs the familiar sense of space, the relationship between up and down, inviting viewers to perceive light, sound, and objects with their entire bodies through the process of becoming aware of their own 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 Artists Award in 2025.
In this latest installation created at the RCAS, the artist expands the range of the audience’s experience, intertwining the effects of light and sound with bodily experience in space — the visitor becomes a co-creator; your sensory reaction is the installation itself.
