To speculate that darkness is subjected to a crossing is hopeful, since its crossing insinuates that darkness is but a temporary state. The artist’s contemplation of the states of the obscure, though anchored in darkness, still deludes a certain light.

In Al Daken Wa ‘Oubouroh, translated to “Darkness and its Crossing”, Adlita Stephan undoubtedly forces the spectator to question and baptise themself in differing states of tenebrosity. The exhibition is then transformed into an immersive experience where one is involuntarily transcended into states of the Obscure.

Through the central piece of her latest exhibition, Stephan explores darkness through a mesmerising text. Darkness, is not regarded as strictly a hue but also as a condition. Experiencing her work then transforms the spectator into a prism through which darkness could be divided and explored into its infinite spectrum.
