“On the Edge of Perception” focuses on what most often remains outside our conscious attention in the everyday experience of space. The installation transforms the familiar relationship between background and foreground, allowing the seemingly insignificant to become the focus of the viewer’s attention. The work invites us to attend to what we perceive in everyday life without consciously noticing it.
Elizabete Andersone is an artist whose work explores the periphery of perception, the functional infrastructure of space, and mechanisms of memory. Working primarily with installation, she uses light, sound, and elements of everyday spaces as artistic material, directing the viewer’s attention away from the familiar and taken-for-granted towards a more conscious experience of space. Her practice can be described as an inquiry inspired by phenomenology and personal experience, exploring the relationships between attention, space, embodied experience, and our surrounding environment.
