"Videos and
Animations"
For his first solo project in France, Anthony Gross presents a
rotating exhibition of
4 works. After two weeks the first 2 films and animations are
replaced with new pieces using the exact same installation.
The films and animations all examine slippages of identity versus
appearance. The works investigate this light heartedly and from
different angles, with figures from films presented alongside
fictional animated characters and objects.
The overall mood is of an experiment, a scientific inquiry where the
sense of material and physical self is fractured and multiplied over
time.
‘Parallelines’, 2003, video, won the prize for Best
Multimedia at The Portobello Film Festival, London 2004 and this is
its first presentation over two screens.
‘Animal Kids’, 2002, is a computer animation that had been
presented previously at Art Basel Miami Beach.
‘From Here to Eternity II’, 2002, animation, has been shown
at The Sharjah Biennial 6, UAE in 2003 whilst this is its first
presentation projected over two screens.
‘Emerge’, video, was made at the same time as ‘Parallelines’
and is presented here for the first time. |
