(HEP 2009 - Australia)
Guildford Lane Gallery, 20-24 Guildford Lane, Melbourne - Australia
24 February - 9 March 2009
Human Emotion Project documented visually by international artists using film or video, for the first physical screening in Melbourne - Australia and launch of HEP.
... Emotions are inherently difficult to explicate. How does one describe fear? We know it when we feel it but how can we share, through the paltry use of language, our experience of it? Moving images, mostly embellished with sound, extend the expressive possibilities beyond what can be accomplished through language or even static imagery. By employing the largest palette of creative possibilities, film and video artists from around the world strive to externalize those complex driving forces that we all enjoy and endure and that bind us, as humanity, together despite our differences ...HEP 2009 Australia - Artists:

Irina Gabiani
Samaia is the title of a Georgian Traditional Folk dance, performed by three women united in the dance in harmonious way. Triamazikamno is a word created by George Gurdjieff in his ‘Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson’ to signify that for anything that happens in the universe, three forces must be present: a positive force, a negative force, and a neutralizing force.

Contact: irina.gabiani@yahoo.com
After studying at the Academy in Tbilisi, Irina moved to Amsterdam where she studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy (“Free direction” and “Contemporary jewellery”). Irina has lived and worked in Luxembourg since 1998.
The Universe in its holistic essence is the focus of the research of the artist according to whom we all belong to a unique system, to a “big organism” imagined as a kind of complex, interrelated chain, of which we, and everything around us, are a part.
Trying to see beyond what we can perceive with our eyes, going beyond the vision of the world as we use to know, the artist researches the innumerable similarities between the infinitely big and the infinitely small within matter. The two “worlds” look as though they mirror one another. The more we know matter and understand its complexity which escapes us at a simple glance, the more the infinitely small leads us to the universe. For this reason, especially in her recent works, images of the micro and macro universes appear one next to the other and, sometimes, the images from the micro exceed the dimension of those from the macro. Discovering infinite worlds within our every-day surroundings leads the artist to believe that there are other parallel realities in time and space.
In her works, Irina uses drawing, painting, photography and sculpture, often in porcelain or ceramics.
