nichola feldman-kiss
SIRENSIREN is a solo exhibition by the Toronto-based inter-disciplinary artist nichola feldman-kiss. The multi-layered presentation encompasses Siren III, a new large-scale single-channel video installation and surfacings, a new installation of video prints commissioned for the entrance of the Koffler Gallery. At the core of SIREN is a reflection on concepts of diaspora, migration and displacement, the paradox of national boundaries and borders within an ecology of elemental flows. -
