About the Item

Merry Liseberg Parade (2021) is a new series of artworks by the Italian artist Chiara Dynys. The artworks perfectly embody artist’s fascination for contrasts and perceptual estrangement. A series of photographs taken at the Liseberg amusement park in northern Sweden during the Christmas season, reveal icy and desolate scenery, characterized by a sort of forced cheerfulness. These visual devices are the outcome of a careful and meticulous process of definition that adds up to the use of very different materials related by Dynys according to a peculiar alchemy. The images are enclosed by irregular and colored structures made of methacrylate with small LED lights that change color that immediately recall the fictional world of entertainment. The visual intensity of the commercial nature of the subjects represented and the colors, emphasizes the paradoxical nature of these places, where the stereotypes of consumption are superimposed on a strange sense of melancholy, an emotional state which is traceable to all her poetics.
