All Things Being Equal

October 1 - 31, 2016 - The exhibition is a looped video that explores the notion of suspended trauma; the idea that dramatic and traumatic incidents from the past are continually repeated and replayed, no longer just as personal memories but also vicariously through the ever-expanding shared experience of mass media depiction. In both, the document is detached from its original time and place. It perpetually hangs in the conscience, seemingly without conclusion. All Things Being Equal depicts the repetitive movements of a figure in confinement, beleaguered by water: an element that is both destructive and sustaining. Here the water moves almost as an independent agency, and the figure is neither suffocating nor surviving.
