Anthea Hamilton
English, Anthea Hamilton, 2018Product details
Anthea Hamilton's interdisciplinary approach to performance is evident in her sculptural assemblages and installations, which she calls "performative spaces" and which, because they are oriented towards a display side, are reminiscent of stage sets or film sets. Her sculptures, idiosyncratic structures on the verge of emergence and collapse, function in them like props for stories that first have to be told. As an important source of inspiration, she repeatedly quotes the French author Antonin Artaud and his idea of the "physical understanding of images". It is precisely this physical experience that she wants to evoke when one encounters her artworks, which consist of unexpected and unorthodoxly used materials, whose proportions are surprising and which are ultimately borne by a subtle humour. The artist's book she conceived includes a series of collages of personal photographs, found imagery and computer drawings, as well as a short conversation with her daughter.
