Glorija Lizde’s exhibition concludes the They curatorial series with the question of the author’s relationship to her own identity.
With the help of the Zen koan “What did my face look like before my parents were born?”, she ponders her name, identifying objects, inherited traits, and her own image. Her work is a unique kind of self-portrait, where the author accesses her image through an analysis of the features of her loved ones, and she is also interested in how others see her. The exhibition will therefore close the series by shifting from figures that are foreign to us, to one that is our own, but at the same time never really known.
