Common Parts

The evening sun, whose heat had gone out of it and whose burning spot of intensity had been diffused, made chairs and tables mellower and inlaid them with lozenges of brown and yellow. Lined with shadows their weight seemed more ponderous, as if colour, tilted, had run to one side. Here lay knife, fork and glass, but lengthened, swollen and made portentous. Rimmed in a gold circle the looking-glass held the scene immobile as if everlasting in its eye.
V. Woolf, Waves

The exhibition of works by students from the COMMON PARTS Photographic Activities Studio was designed as a space filled with interpenetrating, sensual artistic statements, whose visual storyline was built around the colour red. The exhibited works, which are testimony to the sensitivity of the young artists, presented in a cinematic arrangement, assume an introduction to a sensual experience leading from classical photography, through video, to objects and sound which ties the whole together. What emerges here is a story about a community of people with a similar level of emotionality, whose work is a search for closeness and mutual understanding..
