'The Chimera Of Shadows And Other Fantasies'

Anthea Martin at artSPACE durban

The objective of Martin’s exhibition is to look at the effect of light on objects within and without the spaces of her dwelling place.  The history of the house reflects the passage of time, by the nature of its changing functions and deteriorating surfaces.  Martin engages with the phenomenological experience of looking at ‘things’ within the house.  The architecture and objects within the house are given other dimensions by the presence of shadows cast from objects, caused by natural and artificial light at differing times of the day and night and differing axial points of the aspect of the site. Her research aims to explore this idea by creating something that exists in an artwork, but not in reality. An audio-visual presentation was created which expands on the theme of dislocating reality and playing with the metaphor of protective barriers erected as a form of survival.
