Caline Aoun’s work is a focused series of experimental correctives, inversions, and resting places in a historical moment of peaking visual noise. This is done not out of an ideology of urban environmentalism, but by posing the question of what happens when this noise becomes total? Image saturation and the exhaustion that follows, the uncountable ways in which representation has failed us, these forces converge to form new baselines of experience, newly informed silences, dark and blank spaces for us to reflect upon. Dispersions, 2017-ongoing, is a series of unique inkjet prints on folded and crumbled paper. Like most of her unique inkjet prints, they are overridden by their material qualities and surfaces. Here, the ink droplets have landed onto the paper during the printing process in such a way as to create light and shadow effects as a consequence of the papers’ folds.
