In the Heat of It: Exhibition Opening

This exhibition begins with a fascination for the fever dream of reality: the strange, fleeting condition of being fully immersed in the splendour of life while simultaneously aware of its fragility. We move through the world collecting moments: heat on skin, a chance encounter, desire, laughter, anticipation, awe, unease, intimacy, boredom, memory. We can be deeply content and quietly concerned at exactly the same time. Inspired in part by the languid, romantic uncertainty of La Collectionneuse — Éric Rohmer, 1967, the exhibition considers the psychologically playful, those charged intervals where the ordinary suddenly becomes significant, where a passing moment, a place, a person or a feeling is ready to acquire an unexpected intensity.
