Glass Slipper
Thaddaeus Ropac Marais, Paris presents "Glass Slipper", Ariana Papademetropoulos’s first solo exhibition in France. The exhibition features painting, sculpture, and installation, exploring the intersection of natural landscapes, psychological spaces, and domestic interiors. Sculptural vintage payphones offer recorded conversations between the artist and a medium, while large-scale paintings depict human absence within charged environments, existing between realism and reverie.
The works include paintings of dry-cleaning bags with suspended dresses, suggesting presence and absence, and canvases where domestic furniture merges with volcanic landscapes or tornadoes. These pieces are described as "portals" between perceptual states. On the first floor, iridescent shell-shaped telephone booths, inspired by Las Vegas casino designs, invite visitors to listen to intimate exchanges. These are accompanied by paintings of erupting microwave ovens, drawing parallels between everyday technology and natural phenomena, and exploring concepts of quantum mechanics such as "spooky action at a distance".
