Passing Estrangement = Étrangère de Passage
Kinga Araya
2007
Passing Estrangement = Étrangère de Passage was published to accompany the exhibition Thirty-Six by Kinga Araya at the Centre SAGAMIE in Alma, Québec from October 27 to November 8, 2007. The multimedia installation presented in this book includes photographic images, videos and sculptures. All of the works examine the nature of the urban dwelling, specifically Araya's residence at 36 Faillon Street East in Montreal. One of the video works presents a compilation of eight short tapes that chronicle journeys to and from Montreal. While the first two, Walking Around and Tahoka, were filmed in Texas in 1998 and 1999, just before the artist moved to Montreal, the other six are all about home, immigration and displacement. The two photographic series, Domestic Exiles, 2004 and Paroxysm, 2006 displace the body by intervening in curious ways with everyday objects in a domestic space. These images question a dichotomy between domestic violence and a sense of security. Their aesthetic claim in an artistic context raises questions about the in-situ versus the domestic. The publication is accompanied by a text by Edlie Wong.
