Gestalten is pleased to present FOR LIGHT AND MEMORY, a solo exhibition by the Ukrainian-Danish artist Sergei Sviatchenko, arguably one of the most influential innovators of modern collage. The exhibition includes work from Sviatchenko’s new eponymous series FOR LIGHT AND MEMORY as well as a range of artworks from his on-going project Less. The new works are based on the book Andrei Tarkovsky: A Collector of Dreams about the groundbreaking Soviet and Russian filmmaker by Layla Alexander-Garrett, who worked as Tarkovsky’s personal translator during his last film, The Sacrifice. These works, which consist of large-scale wallpaper prints as well as smaller originals, are neither a dialogue, nor a statement of ideas, but rather photographic collage poetry.
