Rachal
Bradley’s photographs are based on the Stereotypes, deep worn clichés,
retold old jokes, and servants of mass iconography. They are rehashed
and displaced. The photographs seem to be the result of a polyphonic,
channel hopping, information saturated, multi-cultural global society.
The work is obviously staged, all the photographs are shot in a studio
there are no tricks and no magic. Fiction and reality take a walk together.
Dunstan
James’s practice is an aesthetic regurgitation of memories,
questions and conclusions. The notion of creating and understanding
through experience informs the process and the materials. There is an
aesthetic nostalgia in Dunstan’s work, which sometimes has a visual
comedy about it. Elements of design are an everyday consideration for
the artist, which become enjoyably absurd when juxtaposed in a dream;
abstractions of objects, colour and function.
Edward
Oliver’s filmmaking explores the subject of gravity and weightlessness in the
human body. This is achieved by means of performance and experimentation
with camera devices and cine-tricks. Edward uses fi lm to record in
non-real time through the use of stop-frame animation and slow motion.
He is interested in the narcissism inherent in self-filming, and enjoys
actively trying to disrupt it.
