Still Life In Rwanda by Eleni Sakellar
August 1-August 31, 2010
Still Life in Rwanda is the result of the artist's investigation into genocide and into philosophical discussions surrounding the nature of reality today, where those who live in technologically advanced societies are able to observe such atrocities from afar.
He said that genocide is a recurring theme that spans human existence. This past century was the bloodiest of them all, with more than 50 million people having been systematically murdered because of race, religion or belief. Despite Never Again commitments by world leaders, genocide continues.
In today's world, mankind has the ability to instantaneously become aware of what is happening as it happens elsewhere in the world. Does this knowledge make individual more responsible? Has seeing these atrocities as media events, one after another, made one more complacent?
The artist's work does not suggest answers. Instead, it asks mankind to consider, and reconsider, individual questions. Not to understand others, but to understand themselves.
