Opening Saturday evening, 106 Green present EGO DEATH, a new solo installation by Brooklyn-based artist Lydia McCarthy.
“EGO DEATH is a selection of photographs from Non-Game Ecstasy, a series concerned with self-love, self-care, and a cult of feminine energy. According to The Psychedelic Experience, Game Reality is waking or egocentric reality, wherein one plays the game of life – it is the barrier to higher levels of consciousness. Building up exposures on color film, new objects, colors and patterns become talisman and transport the seeker to alternate realities. Each part of Non-Game Ecstasy, investigates a different aspect of journeying into new realms of consciousness and what the seeker may encounter along the way.” – Lydia McCarthy
McCarthy’s work has exhibited widely, including Essex Flowers and the Scandinavia House in New York and NAU Gallery in Stockholm. In 2012 she was included in the Humble Arts Foundation’s 31 Women in Art Photography. Lydia’s work has been reviewed and published in The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, Dossier and the Huffington Post.
