Onceagain (Manoji Yachvili) sent an invitation for her own exhibition at her place, the ONCEAGAIN art gallery.
The exhibition is not in the gallery building where you land. You have to walk over a bridge to a seperate building nearby. The exhibition building looks like a temporary building, erected just for the Summer.
Onceagain (Manoji Yachvili) provided a notecard with some background information about “Summer Vibes”
“I love summer .. for its colors, so bright, the hours of sunshine that seem to never end the cicadas’s sound by day and that of crickets by night, swimming in the sea among the fishes ..”
Photo Cafe has a special recurring Expo, called “In The Spot” which is a quarterly exhibition of a single seasonal photo so I participate with one of my photos to be exhibited until September for the theme “Summer”.
It was difficult to choose because in the last month I took several photos of the summer. Thinking about what would be right to show I decided to reopen the Onceagain art gallery and I set up this small exhibition made up of diptychs of sl and rl photos.“

Inside the exhibition building is decorated with elements of a Summer vacation like a sandcastle and you might get wet feet stepping into puddles of sea water. The about a dozend pictures are displayed as pairs. One picture is taken in RL, one in SL. Each pair has a common theme. At some pairs you have to look twice to recognize which picture is from RL. For me that proves that we can immerse into other worlds, into other environments that cause emotions – like Summer vibes. I like the comparison between RL and SL.

onceagain (Manoji Yachvili) ist in Second Life since 2007. Manoji is Italian and lives and works in Tuscany, Italy. She “likes photography, art, landscapes, animals, visiting strange places, most of these things she also does in RL“. You find more of her also on her flickr account.
Thank you for this exhibition and the pictures, onceagain, they caused Summer Vibes – even when we had rain for over 4 weeks, where I live.
