Summary note

Talisa Lallai is a tracker. Informed by her own origin the question of identity and identification becomes the core of her artistic practice. Her photography, however, is no mere image-medium. It is rather a form of expression to constitute space, corporeal and virtually sculptural. Within space she merges fleeting impressions and atmospheres: frozen images of bygone times, both strange and familiar, graceful and staggering. One really has to move throughout her calmly concentrated installations with utmost vigilance, approach and take distance again in order to see anything. Talisa Lallai is a teller of history and stories alike. Constantly, she interweaves fantastic inventions with factual events. Her pictorial language of an 'exotic South' she has derived from motives of a Western perspective; critically, though, as she incorporates Modernity's belief in progress into inhuman colonialism. Exhibition: Kunstverein Reutlingen, Germany (17.09. - 05.11.2017).
