Paul Mpagi Sepuya "In a Flesh: Alexandria"
envoy enterprises
This event has ended.
Alexandria (2007 – 2009) is the 2nd project in my exploration of the artist as subject and his attempt to situate the relationships around him through his practice.
The project is titled for the books of Lawrence Durrell's so-called Alexandria Quartet (1957 – 1961): Justine, Balthazar, Mountolive, and Clea. The quartet presents four takes on one love story; that of artist Darley, who is unable to make sense of his experience with Justine in pre-WWII Alexandria, Egypt, amidst the flood of revelations provided by a constellation of lovers and friends, who all are too searching for peace against the backdrop of the romantic, spiritual and social upheavals in which they are involved.
