SIMON CUNNINGHAM, IDRIS KHAN, MAIKO HATANO, MARTIN NEWTH, KATY WOODS
In Andmoreagain five young UK-based artists explore the relationship between
time and the photographic image. Using a range of techniques, from multiple
and time exposures to the creation of composite images and sampled loops,
they compress and distill time, stretch it out and reduce it to fragments.
Their nominal subject matter - of familiar, everyday scenes and images - is
transformed, becoming at times strange, uncanny, steeped in pathos and
nostalgia.
Simon Cunningham takes fragments of films and re-edits them as loops that
trap us in an endless, repeated sequence. Removed from the linearity of the
films' narratives, their meanings shift and they acquire a rhythmic,
hypnotic quality.
Idris Khan takes pre-existing groups of images and combines them digitally
to create a single image. His "every... photograph taken whilst on top of
the Empire State Building, 2004", for example, reduces a whole series of
holiday snaps to a single, almost abstract composite.
Maiko Hatano has photographed the same scene, of an almost deserted railway
station, by day and by night. Her 'light-spread' pieces combine the two
images and use computer-controlled back-lighting to make them fade almost
imperceptibly between day and night.
For his "Rush Hour - London Underground" series, Martin Newth has made time
exposures, lasting a whole hour, of commuters travelling to work through a
series of London Underground stations. The exposure is so long that the
moving figures barely register on the film, and the escalators become
smooth, ghostly conveyor belts.
In "Adios, Arrivederci, Au revoir, Auf Wiedersehen" (2005), Katy Woods
appropriates a set of holiday slides, found on the street in Manhattan, to
make her own video slide-show. Even as it appears, each image fades from
view, taking its intensely personal, long-lost story with it.
