Transillumination (A Moment of Noise in Memory of Absence) is comprised of thousands of self-portraits created by capturing the transmission of light through different parts of my body with a mobile phone. Transillumination of the skin is performed to visualise subsurface blood volume and blood oxygen saturation; however, by repeating the process in this portrait, it creates an ambiguous sequence of moving images that exist somewhere between art and life, the organic and inorganic. The work is a combination of performance and videography and takes the form of both an abstract self portrait and a binary landscape.
Please note alternative access routes are in place for entry to the Gallery from the visitor car park from Monday 24 August to Wednesday 26 August. Please follow signage and directions from staff.
