Aeneas Wilder : Void

1 May-30 May 2012

Overview

In a void that is a construction site, an installation made of hundreds of pieces of wood, self-supporting & spanning the space until it collapses as and when. A live webcam feed, including of the builders working alongside, projects into the gallery during the duration of the installation. Aeneas Wilder’s work can be read as about identity and architecture. About self-built monuments that create institution identities, and how they get challenged by time. About how we read our bodies, relative to our environment: protected and sheltered, or humble and vulnerable. In this proposed work, we overlay another dimension: the physical (the work exists) and the virtual (we can only see it through webcam).
