In his first artist-run initiative exhibition since his time at First
Floor, Rosetzky presents new video work depicting a view of global
lifestyle culture. A series of stylised images of young people at their
leisure – seemingly at ease. However, voice-over monologues disrupt the
idyllic scenes by presenting the subject’s internal musings that refl ect
prevalent emotional states of insecurity and paranoia. Interviews with the
cast members on the subject of self/other relations were undertaken in
order to examine wether identity is determined by our selves or by how
others see us? The outcome of the interviews were re-considered and
integrated within the video work forming a counterbalance to the fixed
nature of images and attempting to destabilise and question conventional
representations of the real – presenting a fractured and contradictory
montage of subjectivity and contemporary life.
Hours: 3 – 6pm Wednesday to Friday, 12 – 6pm Saturday and by appointment
