Forever Someone Else
GRIMM
News published September 20th 2017
GRIMM IS PLEASED TO PRESENT A NEW SOLO EXHIBITION BY DESIREE DOLRON FOCUSED ON PHOTOGRAPHS DOCUMENTING HER EXTENSIVE TRAVELS.
The exhibition is a prelude to a larger body of work that will be the subject of a new monograph, scheduled for publication in 2020.
The title ‘Forever Someone Else’ refers to a book of selected poems by Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935), a writer, philosopher, mystic and astrologer. Pessoa employed as many as 75 alter egos, referred to as heteronyms, which he deployed at will to disseminate various philosophical and theoretical views.
This exhibition reveals a body of work from Dolron never previously exhibited. Included are various self-portraits in such distinct environments that each becomes an alter ego of the artist, functioning much like Pessoa’s heteronyms. The viewer witnesses the artist adapting, changing and evolving with each situation.
