This
recent body of work by Hamish Carr addresses
our relationship to time and the infinite within
the context of an evolving landscape. These
notions are investigated using concepts adhering
to Romanticism and are depicted through the
use of installation, projection and sound.
The dialogue exchanged between these mediums
reinforces our desire for the infinite. While
their interaction is encouraged through the
deliberate and somewhat repetitive footage found
in the video. Through the rendering applied
to this imagery the work begins to suggest notions
of data and information that is constantly distorting
and changing into objects of representation.
Thus, referencing our associations with time
found in the landscape.
The materials used in the installation further
reiterate references to the landscape and simultaneously
act as a point in which to witness its projection.
While an intrinsic self-referential element
in both the artist and the works reception is
achieved through the deliberate placement of
the mirror which seeks to place an image within
an image. Intertwined within this dialogue is
a constant evaluation of our own mortality,
in turn continually reminding us of the vicissitudes
of our inherent temporality.
