John Smith
1999 - Royaume-Uni - Couleur - 5'
“A particularly beautiful lily seems to grow before our eyes, gradually changing shape. Suddenly the sound and movement stop as a glass plate, invisible until now, cracks . . . . The effect is not only iconoclastic in the word’s original sense – image breaking – but causes the viewer to question the degree of artifice in all ‘nature’ today. . . . And because the flower and its transformation were so engaging, the shattering shatters our involvement and evokes the way in which every image we see is filtered through an individual’s consciousness.” (Fred Camper, Chicago Reader, 2001) Collaboration with Ian Bourn
