The late artist Marlo Pascual reproduced vintage photographs to fold, cut, and even pierce them with unexpected sculptural elements. Candle sconces realize photographic still lifes; a mental double-take ensues. The discreet encounters between fragmentary images and unassuming props play out, rendering the effects of desire palpable. The sculptures become a site of convergence for the past and the presence, the mechanical and the digital, fiction and reality, and drama and banality – a place where the subjects play out ambiguous narratives with psychological and melancholic resonances.
