THE QUEEN
'The Queen' documents the demise of an old Victorian pub in South London. The daily photographs are interspersed with text; a kind of diary of the artist's life at the time. In reading the text, a theme emerges; the searching for a partner through internet dating and other means, and the subsequent failure. The act of demolishing this pub brick by brick soon becomes a metaphor for the breaking down of relationships and communication, in a world where both these things are supposed to be made easier with new technology. Only snippets of the work is shown here; the texts can be read in full on the artists website. |
