DAVID COTTERRELL : MONSTERS OF THE ID
Feb 11 - Mar 31, 2012
Private view Sat Feb 11 Derived from Cotterrell's journeys to Afghanistan, this new work explores the contradiction between the abstraction of experience and the literal nature of documentation. Through image manipulation, staging, CGI and new projection techniques, the 'truth' of film and photographic imagery has been increasingly called into question over the last two decades. This work looks at the role of these new display techniques in defining the essence of contemporary events. The result is a body of work that comments beyond the media representation that most of us regard as a record of key current events.
The development of the exhibition has been supported through residencies with the Joint Forces Medical Group in Helmand province and civilian agencies in the northern provinces of Afghanistan enabled by Wellcome Trust, the RSA and the Philip Leverhulme Prize for research. Co-curated with Helen Sloan, SCAN.
