The Immortals combines discarded objects to create a new environment in the storefront window of SPACE Gallery (Portland, Maine). The arrangement may appear both formal and narrative, existing somewhere between a modern retail display or ancient shrine. Scavenging for objects that have been banished to sidewalks, clearance wracks, damaged goods aisles and mis-tint shelving, Maria Molteni aims to give these objects, thought to be out of sight and mind, recurring lives. This work calls attention to both the subtle, ephemeral aesthetic qualities of industrial materials as well as their common capacity to live forever.
