Maia Contemporary present Orly Anan's solo show Molecular Meditation.
‘Molecular Meditation’ is an audio-visual exploration designed to interact with the human brain to dive into a deep meditation, conceptualized by Mexico City-based creative director and visual artist Orly Anan.
Anan, who has collaborated with Lido Pimienta, Annie Leibovitz, and Missy Elliot, has partnered with Toronto-based sound master Brandon Miguel Valdivia and New York-based video artist Enrique Albato. This collaboration is part of HUH, an evolving global experiment that brings creatives together from different parts of the world to reflect how their cities are feeling.
“Finding new ways to collaborate during these extraordinary times has opened up our world to working with artists like Orly, who we’ve been fans of for a long time,” says Anna Wiesen, creative director of Somewherelse & HUH.
Molecular Meditation was imagined as an exploration of new techniques for creativity and healing through art. Anan is known for her fantastical interpretation of space and character, demonstrated through the colorful visuals that draw the viewer into this experience. The sounds created by Valdivia and visual and film editing techniques utilized by Alba interconnect a mixture of cultures worldwide.
The artist trio blends its unique universes in this twenty-minute-long video and aims to bring the viewer on an inward spiritual, hypnotic, and multi-dimensional journey.
The multimedia installation will be presented in Mexico City by MAIA Contemporary gallery to be shown throughout June.
