About the exhibition

Taking as a starting point Lygia Clark’s conceptualisation of Relational Objects and Ann Hamilton’s ‘Body Objects’, this exhibition explores the transformative potential of the subject’s engagement with objects. The exhibition explores a range of approaches to subject-object relations; including the artist’s body in relation to constructed objects and the space between bodies that is activated in collaborative performances. In the exhibition these engagements are presented through the modality of the photographic image – both as documentation of performances and as staged photographs.
