"objet petit a" archival inkjet prints and video

Opening Reception:  Friday, September 3, 6-9 pm 

The "objet petite a" series is about desire, and the allure of theunattainable.  In this series Anat has digitally modified still imagestaken from television commercials. The advertised is generic.Commercials sell an impossible ideal, lacking any reference pointto objects being sold.   In the "objet petite a" series, the heavylayering of multiple frames of video erases the objects being sold,thus distilling and crystallizing the ideals, rather than the object,being sold.  Highly saturated, dreamlike and blurred, these imagesare meant to evoke both hope and nostalgia. Link to Anat Pollack's website Link to Review of this exhibition in New City
