Reinterpretations

Classical sculptures are reinterpreted as four-dimensional forms. The audience is presented with a shifting perspective of each sculpture, mirroring the conflicting perspectives of our own history and religions, both distorted through time. It draws a parallel with the current political landscape, where it has become harder than ever to tell truth from bias, with two realities presented at any given time.

Each work progressively fractures into fragments of the initial mould, creating a complex, impossible interpenetrating form. They shift back and forth before returning to the start, looping endlessly.

Davids’ Refuge

'David' - Michelangelo 1501An impossibly tall replica of David is constructed in a autumnal forest at the edge of a serene lake. Composed like a derelict relic - it's towering distorted gaze looks east, it's lower half vandalized through decades of neglect.

Heavens Hallway

'Christ on the Crucifix' - Donatello 1444 - 1449Set in a castle above the sky, Jesus is framed in a classical arch, the sculptures form shifts between dimensions, the shimmering gold columns reflect the sculptures distortions.

Mount Hercules

'Bust' Lysippos 1776Sat atop of a cliff edge, an oxidized copper statue of Hercules shifts back and forth, low atmospheric clouds roll in from the east and cascade over the rocks.

Pieta in 4-Dimensions

'Pieta' - Michelangelo 1498Set in a sun-soaked neoclassical room, the Pieta shifts into new dimensions, exposing its gold interior material

"Athlete Wrestling with a Python" in 4-Dimensions

Athlete Wrestling with a Python - Frederic Leighton 1877Set in a neoclassical gallery space, our camera orbits counterclockwise around a shifting sculpture, it alternates between directions as it creates a visual looping puzzle, the dimensional shift causing new forms entirely

David's Rubix

'David' - Michelangelo 1501A bust of David is fragmented into several materials and tones - it's activated like a mechanical rubix cube, with it's shift it's intersectional logic alternates, creating an unexpected loop.

Hercules in 4 dimensions

Farnese Hercules'-Glykon 216 ADPresented in a pop art pink, Hercules fragments and mechanically shifts dimension in a neoclassical room, creating a completely abstract series of fragments, before returning to the original construction.
