Perfect is the Enemy of Good presents is a very personal photography project by Jedibe Ladrón.
The analogue photographs emerge from the artist's journey through executive dysfunction, the result of constant analysis and an insatiable drive for perfection. In this body of work, paralysis by over thinking gives way to a state of creative flow, where images are born not from calculated composition but from intuitive response.
Through a dream-like visual sequence, Jedibe guides us through the intimate landscape of her unconscious, where she approaches creation not as product, but as process, while at the same time defies the relentless pressure of productivity by carving out a space for a gentle, yet radical, resistance.
"Intimacies" is the overarching theme of the first three-part series of works exhibited at TORTE this summer/autumn. "Perfect is the Enemy of Good " is the last show of the three part series which began last July.
This initiative, curated by Raisa Desypri for TORTE, aims to use non-traditional spaces to present and promote artists, showcasing "great" Art in spaces accessible to everyone; by exhibiting Art outside of conventional "white cube" galleries, the goal is to challenge the notion that work displayed outside of institutional settings is merely decorative or of lesser value.
The show runs between the 21.11 - 21.12 with an opening with the artist on the 21st of November from 6pm.
