About The Artwork

"From 2012 on, Edith Torony has been observing, as a kind of urban behaviour investigator, the destiny of these objects out of use, exiled and forgotten at the periphery, but her survey does not stop there. What would it be like if all these reminiscences of our daily waste would recompose by themselves a world of their own? What would they say about us if they would be recovered in a recycle bin of memory? Edith Torony’s works recompose exactly this world, in a sort of archaeology of urban periphery: a bizarre and irresistible beauty sparkles from these chaotic landscapes, peopled as they are with objects that attract the eye, similarly as the glowing wrappers with which we pack the goods of our world, dreams included. In this new context, these pieces of reality, once meaningful, seem meaningless today, engaged as they are in a kind of magic dance, floating in their mesmerising singularity, caught in a limbo of desires: unexpectedly, the artist’s game slips in a new zone, where every fragment tells its own story, in an ode to contemporary chaos and the unconscious, speaking on different voices. Fascinating and slightly terrifying, at the same time." Curator: Irina Ungureanu

What you will see here is a perpetual search in the way I choose to think differently and to create myself as a visual seeker. Simplicity is valuable to me. Ideas come from everywhere, but they grow best in solitude. I like to reconstruct the world, to isolate things from their context, parts and elements from my compositions, reducing everything to what is essential, so that the subject will look as if it had been there for a long time, very natural, just expecting to be seen like that. Awareness is important, also the way you think and observe the world. I like contradictions and I think freedom is not something we can achieve;it is what we choose to have from the start in creating unconventional distinctive works.
