Arsen Revazov: From a window of Venice

ar33studio presents the exhibition “From a window of Venice“, an artistic project that binds together the traditional art of Venetian craftsmen in designing windows – between Gothic and Byzantine styles – and the photographic art of Arsen Revazov which is in a way similar to the work of an artisan.

Revazov’s intention is to create a virtual but strong bond that would grasp beauty and take hold of it with hands, body and soul. This doesn’t mean that Revazov is interested in a nostalgic art that just looks to the past – although there are anti-modernist elements in his vision – but he tries to build a magical fourth dimension in which everyone can project ideas, feelings and moods.

Revazov’s personal research on the fourth dimension – so important in his photographic works where infrared films, multiple exposures, different temporalities and tesseracts are merged – focuses here on the visions from Venetian windows.
And the inquiry becomes simple and natural. The artist is thus able to produce an object that contains notions of beauty and magic. A device that everyone can carry home, immerse himself in the contemplation of the wonderful Venetian corners or increase the prospect of their walls with a new dimension of photographic craftsmanship.
