Daily Glow 無眠之夜|視覺藝術家觀察下的夜深時份 2019 年 11 月 04 日 by Kasa Leung 都市人無眠之夜,又是否只剩下孤獨?希臘視覺藝術家 Aristotle Roufanis 於 2016 開始展開 “Alone Together” 攝影企劃,遊走了香港、倫敦、巴黎、邁阿密等大都會,拍攝了夜深時份大廈剩餘的燈火。 View this post on Instagram Alone Together VIII, 2017. Very excited to be showing this and three more prints from the Alone Together series in the Solo section at @pulseartfair #pulsemiamibeach18!

After making almost an entire series in horizontal format, during my last visit to Hong Kong I felt I could try a vertical format as well. The result is as intense as I hoped it would be: the verticality of the work forces the viewer to look up and strongly recalls the feeling of being faced with a high-rise building. I will be showing this and four more works from the Alone Together series in my upcoming solo show at Art Central Hong Kong @artcentralhk, opening next week.

The more I research about urban isolation the more I realise the urgency of this issue. In the UK alone there are over a million older people who live in chronic isolation. This means that they are completely or nearly completely cut-off from society. My Alone Together series is largely about this phenomenon, but with an optimistic twist to it. The photo here is a close-up detail of a larger work. #endloneliness A post shared by Aristotle Roufanis (@aristotle.photography) on Feb 15, 2018 at 6:10am PST View this post on Instagram Alone Together XII (detail), 2018. It's hard to tell the detail in most of my work if you don't see them from up close. So occasionally I post close-ups, although I don't really like cropping images. Here's a detail from Alone Together XII, the latest addition to the series. It's the first post in a series of three, so watch this space for more.

Here's a work I created during my self-initiated residency in Hong Kong last May, which resulted in a lot of visual research on the ground and two new large-scale prints depicting the city's sheer density and repetitive patterns. It took me some time to find the right angle for this one in order to achieve that almost imperceptible layering seen on the right half of the work, where a single lit-up window is seen through the solid mass of apartment buildings. A print of this work lands today for the first time in Los Angeles, together with three more works from the Alone Together series. I'll be presenting them with Momentum Fine Art gallery @momentum_fine_art at LA Art Show @laartshow, opening today and running through Sunday. If you're in LA, come and find us at booth 829!
