MOnachopsis

(mon-ah-kop-sis) n.
The subtle but persistent feeling of being out of place.

Multidisciplinary artist Matthew Pope exhibits a new body of work, exploring the ideas surrounding Monism and the colloquial term Monachopsis. These terms hold notions of identity; body, mind and oneness, exploring how we sometimes feel out of place and the idea of all existing things belong to one source. Matthew’s work will explore how the body associates and disassociates with place, surroundings and thought. The work allows viewers to gain further understandings of these terms as well as an understanding of their own identity in relation to space. Using sculpture installation and video art, Matthew will aim to provide a more thorough insight into the body and how place shapes one’s identity.
