Olga Cironis, Echo, 2021, still from single-channel digital video with sound, duration 3.55min, ed. 5
For the 2021 Perth Festival, Dislocation surveys thirty years of Olga Cironis’ career, amplifying the recurring concerns about life, relationships, memory and empathy that permeate her work. Featured is the recently completed short film Echo (2021), which debuts alongside reconstructed pieces from previous decades.
Over the period of three decades, through her work, Olga Cironis has become an important and singular artistic voice in Western Australia. Olga has exhibited numerous wrapped objects, ambiguous and organic forms, domestic furniture, feathers, animals, textual work, found objects and the detritus of everyday life. Each creates a sense of abiding otherness and dislocation that is at the core of her practice.
Exhibition presented at Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery, University of Western Australia. To enquire about acquiring any of the works from the exhibition, please contact art@artcollectivewa.com.au
