Gallery Isabelle van den Eynde is proud to present the work of Lebanese artist Raed Yassin in a solo exhibition entitled A Feeling in Perspective. Yassin's work is centred on producing moments of interaction and reflection through consumer culture and mass media. For this show, the artist reconstitutes his personal stories to highlight the development of pop culture in the Arab world and its effect on the collective memory and unconscious.
The way memory is constructed is as complex as the way an album of images constitutes the portrait of a family. In the series Dancing, Smoking, Kissing (2013), Yassin recreates scenes from lost family photographs based on personal recollection, his family's memory and through his own imagination. Most of the artist's family photographs were lost over time due to frequent moving and displacement, among other ways. These computer-generated illustrations are embroidered on factory-produced silk fabrics - depiction of personal moment rendered on mass-produced, decorative surfaces - to render intimate scenes of sensibility and domesticity.
