I started the installation of the exhibition at Babel today. The opening will be on friday from 7pm. It is all going to plan and I am pleased with how the works sit in the space. It is mainly existing work but I wanted to exhibit something made here, so I have made a video-collage mixing video and stills. Combining my own images and found images mainly of Trondheim, but also of blank maps and the polar exploration journeys. It is not a finished piece of work but I think it reflects my last two weeks so far, a mixture of expectations, facing the blankness of a new studio, looking and waiting for the new place to sink in into my way of working.
Here are some stills from the video which I have titled ‘Elephants, doilies and polar coordinates’.
