It was wonderful: My solo exhibition took place at The Dissident Club in Paris. It was lovely to see friends and meet new people. Huge thanks to the club’s owner – Pakistani dissident journalist Taha Siddiqui – for organizing it.
Exhibition description
In the urban fabric of the city, there are faces that go unnoticed, whom society often disregards as “other.” You’ve seen them: homeless folks, random strangers, partiers who’ve had one too many, even those just sleeping off a wild night. We tend to pass judgements without a second thought, disregarding the untold tales beneath their exterior. But what if we took a moment, looked closer, and truly saw them for what they are?Maris Liss invites to shatter stereotypes and challenge your ideas about those living on the fringes of society. The images aren’t just photos, they serve as portals into the secret world of those often overlooked. They are adorned and embellished echoing the naive sincerity of sacred icons. With fusion-aesthetics of different religious arts, Marie Liss invites the viewer to delve into the universal language and transcend the boundaries of cultural interpretation.Each intricate detail signifies the unexpected magnificence within the ‘ordinary.’ Ever thought that the man sleeping on the park bench might be a philosopher or a saint? Marie Liss’s works make the extraordinary mingle with the mundane, pushing you to reconsider your preconceptions.Embrace the idea that the weirdos are often the closest to divine, and you’ll find your definition of ‘normal’ and ‘sane’ flipped on its head. Within these individuals, the author found untold narratives, hidden wisdom, and the profound beauty of the human spirit.
