Vanitas
Vanitas is a re-articulation of the years of Lapeyrolerie’s practice in ultimate image formation, calling into question video in how it’s made and who it’s for, its aesthetic and form, and the role of the fan artist. In a journey to understand her obsession with angels, Lapeyrolerie examines the iconography of an angel as both art object and subject “beyond the transience of all things mortal, futility of desire, fleeting nature of life’s joys, and certainty of death”. How can the spirit of the image be captured? And what traces of that can be left behind through video? “A vanity of vanities”, this video work analyzes the moment image worship and image formation converge with the graven image, a central theme in Lapeyrolerie’s practice.
Aiyana Lapeyrolerie (she/her) is a video and visual artist who explores graven images, idols, angels in East Asian studies and Art History. Lapeyrolerie explores her artistic practice through her studies and professionally in video creation in the music industry. She intends to continue her studies as an artist scholar and video artist, paving a new path in experimental video.
