Fragments of Nowhere is a work by artists Vallée Duhamel, curated by Ronnie K. Pirovino. It explores themes of disconnection and discovery, using fluid motion, striking visuals, and unexpected transitions to blur the lines between reality and abstraction. The piece transforms ordinary moments into dreamlike sequences that challenge perceptions and invite viewers into alternate realms.
Fragments of Nowhere explores the fluid boundaries between reality and illusion. The tangible dissolves into the surreal and ephemeral. Through motion, light, and composition, the works challenge our perception, suggesting that reality itself is just another shifting layer—one of infinite possible worlds. In this art project, the familiar is unhinged, inviting us to question what we see and how we see it. Paradiso convenes an audience that is ideal for this exhibition. The show is innovative in its synergy of mediums, and the concept of a narrative that exists beyond one presentation. This all merges to an experiential moment here and hopefully beyond.
