Pilar Corrias is pleased to present Moonage, a solo exhibition of new paintings and sculptural objects by Sophie von Hellermann.
For her fourth solo show with the gallery, the artist has transformed the Conduit Street space into an environment that channels the fever of a daydream, where the real becomes remodelled by the subconscious. Von Hellermann has borrowed her title from David Bowie’s track ‘Moonage Daydream’, which introduces Bowie’s character Ziggy Stardust as a means to explore forms of creativity that subvert the status quo. Illuminated by lamps, von Hellermann’s images sweep across every wall and surface, as if a large-scale magic lantern had scattered dreams across the gallery.
