We are caught falling

Sandy de Lissovoy

Monte Vista Projects presents an exhibit of new work by Sandy de Lissovoy: We are caught falling. Imagined through a set of objects and their re-presentations in photography and sound, the installation reveals the scene of a magical accident. A nebulous meteorite is caught on one side of an incomplete cube. Snagged in an instant, the amorphous shape unfolds, exposing its structure. It is the positive multiplication and materialization of a smaller negative concavity, balanced within a web of its sound and reflection. The objects exploit changeability of form through a series of sculptural and sound elements. They unravel their internal relationships as well as the lattice of their surroundings. As the quasi-crystalline structure is caught, falling, we are caught too, reflected in its descent. It poses the inescapable question: how long can we remain in stasis before the act of falling resumes.

Sandy de Lissovoy was born in Berkeley, CA, and lives in Los Angeles. He received an MFA from UC Irvine and a BFA from California College of the Arts, San Francisco. His work has recently been shown at Las Cienegas Projects, LAXART and Chung King Project.
