a moment opposite to blindness
Maite de Orbe

16 May - 21 Jun
PV: Thursday, 15 May, 6-9pm

‘A moment opposite to blindness’ is Maite de Orbe’s first solo exhibition in London, showcasing a body of work from 2022-2025 spanning material shot between the Dominican Republic, Chile, UK, Spain, Mexico and The Gambia. Across these locations, Maite chases suspended emotions in landscapes, portraits and details.

The series is a gesture of surrender to the grief of the world we live in, while investigating recurring topics of obsession – performers, desolate deserts, religious iconography, sex work, car crashes, ballroom, and lovers and friends. Taking its title from Anne Carson’s ‘Autobiography of Red’, which loosely transposes the Greek myth of Geryon and Heracles into a modern setting and romantic tension, ‘a moment opposite to blindness’ aims to capture raw and tender intimacy.

The exhibition is accompanied by a text by Clara Dublanc, ‘Notes on Entropy and Surrender’, and an editioned zine designed by the artist, featuring fragments of a conversation between Maite de Orbe and Aleksandra Moraś titled ‘On Moments Opposite to Blindness’.
