Natasha Christopher at Standard Bank GalleryVery little dispute is ever indulged over the idea that exhibitions are, above all, scenarios for looking at pictures. And why should it be? Our typical behaviour with regard to pictures, in professional and personal contexts, seems to suggest that their proper home is amongst other pictures, in frames and on walls commanding enough of our attention to make this effort in décor notable for esoteric reasons. In social contexts, a revolution in image-publishing induced jointly by Facebook and cellular phone cameras has ensured that even in the moment of capture, photographs are taken with their display and dissemination in mind rather than only for the sake of posterity or nostalgia. One point holds, regardless of context: historically and conventionally we seem to want to look at pictures in their own right, as little worlds unto themselves, and this is especially so in the genre of photography.

Natasha Christopher at Standard Bank GalleryNatasha Christopher's solo exhibition in the Standard Bank Gallery's makeshift downstairs exhibition space sees the artist returning to her hometown Welkom in an immersive installation of photography, found objects, sound and text that is far more than the sum of its parts.
