I'm excited to have a solo exhibition at Curatorial&Co in Redfern, Sydney.
STUDIO 1, 175 CLEVELAND STREET REDFERN SYDNEY
Open from the 13th of July to the 23rd July, with opening drinks on the 14th July from 5-8pm.
This will be the first new body of work I have shown since 2019 and is titled SOFT LANDING.
“The exhibition reflects on the artist’s interactions and correspondence with loved ones, as well as her own thoughts on the ageing process in recent times. Banazi was especially interested in the world view which captured people through frames, visual apertures, prisms and veils. Her lived experiences were shaped by portraits, maps and floating windows and physical bodies abstracted through filtration, glitches, and the internet.
Banazi says the body of work holds together a document of experiences interacting and overlapping to reflect her own thoughts on her changing emotions during this time of disconnection: from quiet contemplation to enraged fury; from a deep sense of loss and loneliness to overwhelm and apathy.
This series reflects a space of contracts: comparisons of day and night; city and country; distance and connectivity; time and space. The exhibition culminates in the artist’s revelation that this moment in time was everything and nothing all at once.”
