| Description: | Troubadour (2025) is a photographic work that adopts a fish eye lens, first-person, video-game aesthetic to depict Pompeii’s Archaeological Park as a labyrinthine space, or stage, where historically artists have travelled to in quasi-pilgrimages – but also symbolic of the complex plural histories embedded by migrant artists who have contributed to artistic material practices and philosophical thoughts of fresco painting in Rome and Pompeii. In the words of Elaine Gazda (Roman Art in the Private Sphere, 1991): these paintings in their architectural settings and as part of a complex cultural interplay of signs through which aesthetic, social, cultural, and economic values were produced and negotiated. |
