Utopia 2( pages 32-33)
In this work Korderas examines the complexity of‘ utopia’. Ultimately, how we preceive, pursue and understand happiness is the root of utopian themes and what makes them so interesting.
“ What if one person’ s‘ utopia’ is another’ s‘ dystopia’? The buildings were created to exist in one‘ utopian’ world of my creation, though looking more‘ dystopian’ on first look.”
Korderas references Tennesse Williams, Catherine I of Russia and Bernardo Bertolucci in what at first appear to be whimsical and saucy scenes of daily life. The depth of meaning in this work touches on provocative fashion for young girls, hiding homosexuality in a 1950s photo booth and a room for“ the pleasure of being alone”.
