THE COLOUR OF POMEGRANATES, PART-2

Introduction
"The Colour of Pomegranates, part 2—the digital space, is the continuation of a discussion that began with an exhibition in 2018, when the artist Genie Poretzky-Lee emailed an image of her pink stained hands to Rosalind Wilson as she was casting a sculpture of an open pomegranate. A connection was made that extended outwards to a shared appreciation of the Soviet director, Sergei Parajanov and his film, The Colour of Pomegranates, a visual poem dedicated to the life of 18th-century Armenian poet and troubadour Sayat-Nova, (1712 –1795).

The original exhibition had a womb-like quality, where the artworks played off each other, as if carrying on a conversation begun by Parajanov, his film projected onto the wall at the back of the gallery and across their artworks. I moved through the sculptures, symbols utilised by Parajanov now present in the space, an open book with redacted words, dyed paper, knotted fabric, all carefully placed. But there was a sense of unease, as if there was something left unsaid, still seeking resolution. I became interested in how this dialogue could be developed into the digital space, asking whether it was possible for the work to form the basis of a number of propositions connecting our rapidly changed and changing relationships with digital technologies and art forms." (Walker, 2020)
