Invisibility and silence: an extreme form of art resistance of Aaron Curme

Social alienation necessitates a critique against social paradoxes that disregard individual experiences and portray societal failures as successes. Aaron Curme adopts the extremes of invisibility and silence to counteract these paradoxes and constructs an artistic identity of resistance, a demonstrative choice of resistance, an extreme, ironic and paradoxical behavior aiming to directly expose the core of problems. Employing auto-hermeneutics, the artist's self-conscious artistic practices are observed that embody paradoxical empowerment through absence, and constantly transform the silence into a subtly communicative and aesthetically appreciative form that offers a novel interpretation towards the unheard perspectives of others.

Abstract

Social alienation necessitates a critique against social paradoxes that disregard individual experiences and portray societal failures as successes. Aaron Curme adopts the extremes of invisibility and silence to counteract these paradoxes and constructs an artistic identity of resistance, a demonstrative choice of resistance, an extreme, ironic and paradoxical behavior aiming to directly expose the core of problems. Employing auto-hermeneutics, the artist's self-conscious artistic practices are observed that embody paradoxical empowerment through absence, and constantly transform the silence into a subtly communicative and aesthetically appreciative form that offers a novel interpretation towards the unheard perspectives of others.
