ONE SHOT
Irina Novarese
*Closing Event*
From found imagery and artifacts, Irina Novarese (Turin, IT) constructs spaces identified by fiction and reality. She recreates histories based on input shared by the community, archival information, on-site research and personal interpretation. Novarese's installations become a type of abstract storytelling that brings into question how we perceive and personify history, its relics, and those who preserve it.
The origin of Novarese' site- specific, solo exhibition ONE SHOT is an investigation into an image sourced from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation entitled All Female Survey Crew taken in 1918, during the Minidoka Project. The picture is the only one available that documents a completely female survey crew until the 1950s.
