Anoli Perera
Through the digital reproduction and superimposition of ancient cosmological cartographies with watercolour paintings, Anoli Perera reflects on ideas of ‘pilgrimages’, parallel landscapes and sacred routes people construct. The works created for Tale of Two Cities considers the experiential and emotional rootedness of journeys taken by pilgrims that supersede the boundaries present in cartographic maps. It deliberates on the claim pilgrims make to geographies and histories, beyond that of their homelands, as they engage with regions that exist in their imagination, beliefs, and interpretations of the world.
Anoli Perera is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores themes of feminism, history, identity, colonialism, and post-colonial anxieties. She incorporates a broad range of media in her practice such as photography, installation, painting, book art, and bricolage.
