Point of you

December 1, 2020 @ 4:00 pm - December 10, 2020 @ 9:00 pm

In Ariana Grande’s 2020 release ‘pov’, she candidly confesses “I’d love to see me from your point of view”, in repeating stanzas that sound like an echoing voice in our head.

Investigations into the idea of gaze, or view is recurrent in the work of Martina Mifsud. For her second solo exhibition, a series of works that contort her flesh and play on her own image hang within a large abandoned space. Borrowing from the pop artist’s lyric, this is a collection of personal love/hate conversations with herself. The artist is here shifting her subject to the person at the other side of the mirror, the phone lens and the social media post, focusing on everything she has abhorred in images of herself. In her most personal work to date, this collection is about the disconnect between viewer and subject; delivering the sitter out of its often inanimate status, to display its anxiety, inhibitions and discomforts.

Point of you is about the many ways we are documented, and we document ourselves. It’s an attempt at being present in a time when so much content is created with an absent mind. The series is about a safe space which the artist created for herself, to deliberate notions of confidence, self image, social media and perception.
