Cica Ghost’s latest
exhibition, Ghostville, opened last week at the MetaLES region. Cica’s work is
always wildly popular, splashing colour into our consciousness with her wholly
black and white installation in autumn last year, blogged
here.
You may recall that
that installation was also the stage for the re-enactment of a recently discovered
fable by the Ancient Greek philosopher Isosceles Aesop’s (620–564 BC) - The
Raven, the Horse and the Slug – with Cica herself taking the role of the
Raven. This particular fable is said to be Aesop’s personal favourite of his
works.
Ghostville re-introduces us
to some of the images and animations from the black and white world, as well as
some new ones. The animations continue to be simple line drawings and are
absolutely adorable for being so.
The installation
comprises a number of different “vignettes”…each an element of a large deconstructed
villa building. None are quite a whole room but comprise partially built walls,
floors and windows. Most of the scenes have sits built in for photographers.
Each has one or more of Cica’s animations or sketches, many of which are self-referential.
Ghostville continues Cica’s
popular sweet, artistic simplicity. It is an endearing and engaging installation
and I recommend it.
