'Discordance'
Michael Meyersfield at UJ ARTS CENTREThe UJ Art Gallery will host an exhibition entitled 'Discordance' by acclaimed photographer, Michael Meyersfeld.
The first segment, 'Urban disquiet', comprises a series of urban images addressing the landscape of today. Sometimes playground, sometimes battleground, there is a constant blurring between what is real, and what is perceived.
'Bent' - a street series - further represents the chaos of the city. These images comment on our sometimes robotic state of being, our pared down awareness and how we are rendered submissive in the face of growing urban decline.
'Observance' links the above themes. This collection including symbolism, sacrifice, edifice, memorial, worship, contemplation, pilgrimage and idolatry explores humankind's celebration of rituals and customs. It ponders whether the act or practice of observing or complying with a law, custom, command, or rule ensures a world free of discord and chaos.
