Creating images was always about telling a story, whether a stand-alone iconic image, a series of images, a book, or a film, a natural evolu- tion of the same line of enquiry and my own personal creative journey. In all these stories there is a truth, be it as abstract as you like… buts its real, and people connect with it. The magic at the time of creating a photograph is the very essence of the art of photography, amazing, incredible timeless beautiful moments, seen, cajoled spirited but ultimately captured in that split second and thus created… More Details HERE
Shaun Caton
Friday 26 April 3pm – 6pm – Shaun Caton ‘Unscene Underbelly’
Renowned British performance artist Shaun Caton (UK) has presented some 280 performances in major galleries, museums and festivals worldwide since the early 1980’s. He calls his performances ‘living breathing images’ and often paints/draws during a self induced trance. His work has been variously described as ‘epic primordial performance’ (TACTILEbosch, Cardiff) ‘genuinely terrifying’ (The Scotsman) and amongst other things, a ‘cyber shamanic rave’ (Flux Magazine).
Caton’s performances are uniquely created for each space and are characterised by long duration, expressionistic use of colour, shadows and experi- mental lighting with ‘endless variations’ (Stewart Home, 2009). American poet, Clayton Eshleman, recently described Caton’s performances as a ‘su- pernatural garden’. Caton is deeply preoccupied with creating a seething magical cosmology of images and signs that emerge from some prehistoric/ futuristic dreamtime. Watching his work unravel, expand, and contract through time, is deeply absorbing and takes the viewer on a journey into a fragmentary history of shattered, shifting metamorphic images. The effort and concentration applied to each performance is so demanding that every gesture and nuance is a punctuation mark in a living, breathing, picture. More Details HERE
