'Forgotten'

William Scarbrough at serialworks

William Scarbrough is an artist whose work is deeply engaged with narratives of violence, signification and ethics as presented in the global media. In his intensely researched multimedia projects, he employs the ubiquity of the media’s visual violence to probe the less spectacular, but no less imperative aspects of emotional, imaginary, physical or psychic violence.

'Forgotten' presents a complex labyrinth of information as an installation in two parts. A series of prints presents fifteen forensic facial reconstructions and a press article related to the events in question. A Flash-interface video projection allows a viewer access to a 25-minute video and other supporting contextual content. Together, these elements offer up a narrative pushed aside in the wake of one of the world’s most iconic catastrophes.
