Description

With *pl_ay*, the *re_petimento* collection takes the archaeology of memory a step further. By revisiting the static, bourgeois portrait of Alice Vanderbilt Shepard painted by John Singer Sargent in 1888, this piece executes a radical shift toward "form before form." Far from a mere pastiche, it is a chromatic and sensory resurrection. The classic work metamorphoses into a surrealist flow—a stream of molten memory—where 19th-century academic rigor collapses under the gaze of the inner child. Drawing on *lowbrow* aesthetics and pop-culture vibes—ranging from Murakami’s iconography to totems of the imagination—the figure sports playful attributes that subvert the authority of the original canvas. The experience is rounded out by an electroacoustic soundscape steeped in deep nostalgia; *pl_ay* is an invitation to awaken the dormant, subversive innocence within us, transforming the historic canvas into an eternal playground where painterly substance, pure color, and suspended time merge into one.
