26 August St.Omer – ran a short workshop with some local photographers which entailed walking around the town and photographing the architecture and shadows – all went quite smoothly and particiapansts seemed engaged. Benôit giving a kind of potted history of the town as we went and Evodie taking some great shots.
Rather surprised to be miked up and filmed by France 3 as well as being interviewed by Voixnord ! challenging to say the least with my v. limited vocabulary!
"The insertion of objects, texts, images and voices into a context already thick with meaning has produced a complex scene, which invites the viewer to move through the work, drawing out hidden and differing meanings." This quotation from Jane Rendell's book Art and Architecture: A Place Between summarises the core ideas that sit at the centre of my practise. I use a range of media to create installations that express or imply something in the gap between the function of the space and the work created for it, a kind of unraveling of ambiguous structures and narratives.
