Aaron Young, Go Back to the Valley, 2006, Collezione privata
MACRO will dedicate one of its large galleries to a solo show from the young American artist Aaron Young (San Francisco, California, 1972), curated by Costanza Paissan. Called upon to create a site-specific installation, Young re-imagined the exhibition space by infusing it with urban ambience and exposing how the diverse stories and languages of a city can coexist.
The four videos in the show were shot in a variety of locations from the Palace of Versailles to a frozen lake in New York State. The camera is constantly being flipped upside down and kicked around by the artist until it is fully destroyed. The resulting footage creates a melange of sights and sounds, catching the viewer off-guard and upsetting his sense of space. One of the videos, created specially for this exhibition presents a liberal and disillusioned interpretation of Rome’s classical image and that of a symbolic monument, the Colosseum.
