CLOSING RECEPTION & GALLERY TALK:
Sat 8 June | 2:30pm | Free, booking required
Remnant investigates the interconnectedness of place, time, and memory. Fusing voice and soundscapes with autonomous yet interconnected photographic and video imagery, the work is structured as a dynamic interplay, expanding the narrative, spatial, and atmospheric connections between still and moving images. Remnant explores how landscape acts as a repository of memory, as a site to construct and sustain images and myths of national identity, of self and of others.
With the passage of time, the histories of these places transform, becoming unstable, the fictions of memory.
In this new exhibition, Doherty explores memory as a measure of time and space, of dislocation and connection, of what is real and what is imagined.
