everybody welcome to the opening:

DIGITAL EYES / SABINA ROMANIN, ITALY / OCTOBER 2011
starting october 1st at the 700 megabyte gallery / www.700mbg.com

In her show the artist presents a very simplistic and interesting way to approach digital space.
She is using needle and thread to save her idea by stitching her image into the disc. Using these materials she points out the contrast of the colorful glossy and vulnerable surface of a cd and the traditional and very old craft of sewing. The artist connects the two sides of the disc with black thread, thereby destroys its major function and at the same time saves her mirror image on both sides of the disc.
The act of sewing and saving her (self)portrait this particular way is a clear statement; an act of fixing, of repairing something and outlines a slight idea of the desperate attempt to keep something from getting old or being broken. An attempt to preserve the brilliant and almost magical appearance of a cd - or of oneself in its reflection.

Everybody welcome to reflect!

best wishes,
