"Now You Don't” at Hoxton Distillery |
|
|
|
LONDON, ENGLAND.- The Hoxton Distillery presents "Now You Don't - Richard Couzins, Christopher Lee and Carly Rogers," on view through May 5, 2002. Sometimes the answer starts to obscure the question: people falter on the second question in 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' because the ease of the answer sends a shower of bright light over the question. Richard Couzins' new video takes the punctuation qualities of emblematic still-shots of TV soaps and sit-coms and turns them in on themselves. Couzins exploits the rhythmic possibilities of editing and its fragmenting effect on narrative using voiceover-text-image conjuring. Christopher Lee has made a frieze of photographs of toys on identical backgrounds. Painted dots on the surface of the prints cover the image area of the toys - their familiar outline just recognisable. Lee is interested in material contrasts: the irregularly applied matt paint partially obliterating both the image and the gloss of the surface; the comforting and familiar rendered indistinct. Carly Rogers' large-scale photographs show the basic accoutrements of a magic act. The objects are arranged as they would be in a catalogue shot. The nature of the imagery combines an awkward vulnerability, inherent in the objects and their construction, with an authority and confidence created by the way in which they have been photographically recorded and presented.
