In My Empty House
Description
A major new installation work by Ruark Lewis, In my empty house, includes a collaboration with experimental filmmaker Loma Bridge. The exhibition is a portrait composite of internationally renowned anthropologist Vivienne Kondos and her husband Alex Kondos leaving their house, a space filled with the accumulated ephemera of living and the patina of over thirty years of anthropological and social research. The exhibition, on one level, is an inverted portrait of the discipline of anthropology and its parameters and inherent subjectivity and cites, in particular, Vivienne Kondos's major work "The Ethos of Hindu Women" (2004.)
