ABOUT

Tim Davies’ film and video works often feature a performer, usually the artist himself, negotiating his way through the built environment. The human body becomes the means by which to explore the spatial and social aspects of architecture.

 

This exhibition includes a new film made in response to Norwich – reflecting the city’s historic context and its cultural and architectural specificity. In an earlier multi-screen piece using moving and still images, the artist can be seen running through the streets creating a fluid, pounding rhythm, as he searches, searches and finally disappears in and amongst new buildings. In another, the artist’s hand traces a journey along Venetian canals, capturing the city in the watery reflections, images which disintegrate whenever the fingers ripple the surface. These short films made during a recent residency in China, and for the Venice Biennale, will be shown alongside the series of sanded postcards Bridge which, like the films, build patterns by discreet repetition and erasure creating a series of visual poems for familiar and some less familiar public structures and spaces.
