Is there any possibility to be remaining the same, if you experience total retrograde amnesia right now at this moment? If the voice in your head would suddenly stop the constant chatter, would you still believe the innocence of blue color, be afraid of spiders, believe valued morals such as believe in a god or love your kids, if ‘‘you’’ were not there anymore...
What is it that make us who we really are? What is it that creates our personality? Is it our genes? Is it socio-cultural environment we were brought up? Or does a trauma in our chidhood cast a spell on our lives forever? Du Pre has created metaphysical metaphors of the development of human character, emotions and personality. Her aim is to awake and move the audiences’ inner perceptiveness, question given believe systems and even find the answers of those on canvas. The narratives reflected in each of the pieces related to the exhibition ‘’misidentity’’ make the audience question blurred bridges on the playground of the visible and invisible, memory and moment.
