Lightness of Being

KATE PIEKUTOWSKI

Through the historic medium of etching, this exhibition explores the transient nature of culture and its importance in Western society. With continued research on Milan Kundera's novel 'The Incredible Lightness of Being', my aim has been to use a philosophical approach in order to recreate a romanticised depiction of La Belle Epoch and the Parisienne arcadia. Using the decadence of this era in juxtaposition to European folk-lore and peasant culture, this exhibition will uncover historical post-war emotion and connection to place in how we develop, revealing new forms of identity within the ephemeral qualities of belonging.
