ESMERALDA KOSMATOPOULOS
SOMEW#HERE #5, 2016
Neon, transformer
30 x 40 in (76 x 102 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.

Esmeralda Kosmatopoulos
Esmeralda Kosmatopoulos is a multi-disciplinary conceptual artist. She has lived her life surrounded by unique cultures—born in Greece, raised in Paris—she now lives and works in NY. Her work investigates the definition and construction of identities, personal memories and collective histories in the digital age. Influenced by the increasing interplay between physical and virtual spaces, Kosmatopoulos decontextualizes everyday objects, cultural symbols and behaviors and translates them into the Internet and social media world. Her work has exhibited in the United States, Canada, Europe and Latin America. Kosmatopoulos also worked alongside socially charged entities such as the Organization of American States (OAS) to create large-scale installations that raise awareness on social issues.
