In, appropriating moments from Hollywood films, this work seeks to talk about the influences of fiction on representations of the self.
Through the re-creation and slowing down of these short moments, the work seeks to reflect on how pivotal moments are use as the means through which we define the self. The installation of the work seeks to create a space analogous to cinema within the gallery space, to further build that relationship to fictional constructs.
Fictional characters and appropriated imagery become deconstructive tools, engaging the work with the ideas and conventions of metafiction. By creating a sense of artifice within this, the work questions ideas of both freedom and universality within the imagery of representation, pointing towards the interrelated nature of fiction and reality. However, in choosing moments of weakness, character flaw and self-destruction the work, ultimately, is about the failure of identity.
