Product Details Hardback 104 pages Kent Gallery Published 2002 Publisher's Description:
Beginning with staged portraits and self-portraits, John Brill's imagery becomes increasingly nebulous, increasingly concerned with how resonance can remain unaffected by the systematic removal of content. Taking scavenged pictures, some from real life and some from off the television screen, Brill works to distance the image from its origin through multiple printings, fragmentation, tonal shifts, and value reversals. In the end, the pictures derive more from mind than from matter, projections of Brill's own will, contrived of his own desire. |
