Photography, printmaking and installation. Gridded mural sized images, collaged silver gelatin works. Analog prints, also screen printed, are standing in the room, off the wall.

For scenic, say Roysdon is moving on from these 23 short pieces, which are by turns abstract, poetic and political, into a more personal project. At Kunsthalle Lissabon Roysdon uses photography to deepen a sense of loss in relationship to the aliveness of time. Using the theatrical tropes of perspective and prosceniums Roysdon exhibits variations of the dynamics between movement, image, stage, alive and lost. Through photography, printmaking and installation the exhibition combines gridded mural sized images with collaged silver gelatin works. These analog prints, also screen printed, are standing in the room, off the wall, in order to present the performative contrast between the image strategies and share the commitment of the artist to reanimate in scale the social space.The sense of loss is further depicted via a need of a horizon which rests quietly in the photographs. The images appear unfinished, uneven, linking the idea of the before and the after. Roysdon’s text Uncounted echoes in scenic, sayas fragments of that work are screen printed in the collaged works. In scenic, say Emily Roysdon shows her research into what is lost in time and how this is staged and memorialized. Thinking through death and theatre she offers the public a poetic glance of her personal, abstract and political imaginary.
