It features photography, video, performance and book works. Although all the imagery relates to the camera, none is about photography itself. It could be argued that the camera apparatus, although a recording instrument, also offers a space for play. The idea being explored here is of the camera as conduit, a place for the imagination. Light enters the interior space, some kind of magic occurs, and it exits transformed. This will not happen every time a camera is picked up - you have to make it happen. The results can be erratic and fickle, elusive even. The work featured in this exhibition gives us an opportunity to examine imagery which is unpredictable, improbable, informative and capricious - but never dull. Curated by Sian Bonnell Sian Bonnell is an artist, photographer, curator and Associate Professor of Photography at University College Falmouth. Her work has been exhibited and published nationally and internationally. She combines her art practice with running TRACE, which is an artist-led project that curates exhibitions of new written, audio and visual work.
