...
A sign for incompletion, ellipsis and so on, with 6 or 7 works for company, in a room. A man, masked in blue, has heard something. He is standing with his back to the window, slightly out of focus, in the hotel room where his father was last seen in 1975. The body was never found. Portrait. An oval slab of Nivea obscures a reflection then slides down the mirror, leaving a greasy trail. Exchange figure and ground. Out of the backdrop, dense green drapes expose pin-up legs standing by another window and Paul Klee’s architecture lends colour to a mystery boy’s balloons. Those particular balloons’ colours are not known. Everything flows … the book has been read and the punctuation has gone. Two negatives stuck together, a faint image whited into one, a man waiting, a hole blacked into the other. Pause a sec. Works by Pascal Bircher, Marlene Haring, Eva Stenram, Rachel Tweddell, Anthony Auerbach, Anna Strand
