BlackBodies 2013. cardboard, fluorescent lighting, steel, cables, plastic fasteners, paint.
+The installation BlackBodies was a meditation on moral decay, the alchemical transformation, nigredo: 'the darkest time, the time of despair, disillusionment, envious attacks; the time when Eros and Superego are at daggers drawn, and there seems no way forward...nigredo, the blackening' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigredo).
Cara Falsa 2012-2013. 1.5m color print in two parts on mdf, steel cable, paint, ‘Blossoms’ sound design.
+Created as a vanity photo manipulation of my face. However, blown up to 1.5 m height and installed at an angle, the details of the printed face at this scale with all of the visible color separations created a deeply disorienting effect. I remeber seeing this face made me feel unwell. I was staring back at something that is a not-me yet of me.
The works shown were part of the exhibition "You Cant Kill What Isn't Dead Yet" by Suzanne Carte, at the Doris McCarthy Gallery, University of Toronto, Scarborough 2013.

Blossoms (Helagabulus Mix) is the accompaniment to Cara Falsa. This Recording documents the real time manipulation and distortion of digital voice readings on texts about gigantism, roman history and vanity. |
