bubblebyte.org is pleased to present Keeping Time, a solo exhibition by UK artist Hannah Perry.
Working
across a variety of medium, including moving image, photography,
collage and sculpture, Perry’s practice is mainly developed by mixing
found VHS footage, YouTube videos and photos from the artist’s own,
personal archive. This often transpires into a constellation of images
taken from teenage pop icons and the Internet, reproducing a quick
snapshot of the visual language of young, contemporary culture.
Blossoming characters, often depicted in the moment of building their
identity, quickly disappear on to the next image, creating a fast,
polysensorial narration.
Keeping Time, the artist’s first solo show at bubblebyte.org,
revolves around the topics of rhythmic time and its hypnotic power,
transporting us into an acid dancy world populated by music and film
references such as Steve Reich or David Cronenberg.
Untitled
is an animated hyper-work leading to a series of different artworks and
elements. Starting as a random composition of personal objects leaning
on the floor, the user is invited to interact with Hannah’s world and be
transported into new settings; artistic, musical or simply connected to
the artist’s creative process. Old works and personal influences blend
with tools used by the artist in her work, and constitute a conceptual
cut and paste, interdependent to one another.
The works Extract 1 and Extract 2, from the work Wonderful While It Lasts, recently
presented at the Zabludowicz Collection, are a vibrant concentration of
quick images portraying youth culture. Music videos and TV programmes
are collaged with family members’ interviews, fleetly developing through
a sort of synthetic motion accompanied by a strongly immersive
soundtrack.
Deeply
influenced by music sampling from dance music to hip hop, the outcome
of Perry’s work is a fresh, visual, rhythmic assemblage representative
of an actual momentum.
The private view attendees will receive a downloadable artifact exclusively created by the artist.
