Lindsay Seers : It has to be this way 1.5

23 Oct 2010-2 Jan 2011

Overview

The artist, obsessed with the transformative powers of photography, follows streams of associations; her stepsister’s boyfriend’s diary, her mother’s memories alongside a shared archive of images and papers, determine the outline of her ongoing journey and the form for the unfolding narrative of the work. The viewer enters a structure in which everything is connected, a memory theatre painted blue, a giant star, a doubled video, and a documentary and novella that weave together a complex set of relationships which shift at every turn. Through Seers’ photographic explorations the past is constantly reconfigured, as if it contains an infinite virtual potential for different outcomes, which are all already embedded in one another.
