In the conceptual project Ghosts in Sunlight, Magda Parasidis reimagines the urban ghetto she has known as home as a space of poetic revelation. She transforms the housing projects from structures of oppression into the sites of ecstatic nighttime reveries of memory and resistance. Her work considers the connections between the personal, the political and the aesthetic, while subverting the systems of power that make some lives visible and others not. With a practice rooted in photography, Parasidis’ text-based images create a meditative and dreamlike visual space in which she explores urban poverty and the mechanisms of marginalization, while inviting the viewers to examine their emotional responses to race, class and difference in the service of a renewed critical consciousness.
