ESMERALDA KOSMATOPOULOS
SOMEW#HERE #2, 2016
Neon, transformer
16 x 62 in (41 x 157 cm)
Edition 1 of 3
SOMEW#HERE is a body of neon works that invite the viewer to revisit the meaning of the word “here”, along with the core concepts of presence and absence in light of the changes new technologies have brought in the definition of the self. In this series, the artist invents a new word - #HERE - a word referring to this place of ‘non place’ that is the digital world. Kosmatopoulos appropriates simple sentences found in dictionaries to exemplify the use of the word “here”, and simply replaces it with “#HERE”. The hashtag that now predisposes the 4 letters of such a basic term, comes to challenge the meaning of the whole sentence. Their tone, which at first was very basic, naive, almost simplistic, clashes with the complexity of the newly created and unfamiliar term “#HERE”. When read while thinking of “#HERE” as this place of physical withdrawal, these strings of words come to question the relationship between analogue and digital selves in the post-Internet age.
