MYOSIS

Myosis is the constriction of the iris which decreases the diameter of the pupil. It is an unconscious phenomenon which can be triggered by an intense light, fear, or the effect of epiphany. 
This short follows a man journey away from his own individuality as he assimilates into a larger, monolithic entity symbolizing conformity and going with the flow. Ultimately memories of his past prove to be too strong to keep him shackled into his daze, and he sets out to do the unthinkable.

Javier Pérez :: EN PUNTAS (extracts)

A ballerina, whose pointe shoes are extended by a set of sharp kitchen knives, dances and twirls insistently until reaching exhaustion, fighting to maintain balance on the lid of a grand piano set on a stage. The theatre with its red velvet warm lighting, resembles an oversized music box.
The ballerina appears as a figure expressing effort, sacrifice and pain in her strive for perfection. Both fragile and cruel. Initially shy and hesitant, her steps become more and more emphatic, menacing and not exempt of violence, scraping and cutting into the delicate surface of the piano with her sharp pointe shoes.
Beauty and cruelty, fragility and violence, culture and nature or life and death.

Alex Virji

Alex Virji was born in 1986 in London where he still lives and works. A recent graduate of City and Guilds art school in London, Virji sees painting as a form of archaeology, unearthing and exhuming different painting conventions. His small oval paintings recall both 16th century miniatures as well as later French Rococo paintings suffused with the effects of 20th century science fiction.
