Art House 13
26/2 Bath Street
Open: 6/7 September, 10am-6pm
Lindsay exhibits her work A Sense of Some Place which are photo composite art prints. Created from abstract and narrative photography using found 35mm slides, the resulting images are intriguing and mesmerising.
Visual artist, Lindsay Perth seeks to distort past realities. She works with hundreds of discarded and found 35mm slides, dismantling them from their slide mounts. Individually, each 35mm slide holds a subjective truth as an image from someone’s family or personal archives and travels. Lindsay wants to find the space where the past becomes uncertain, full of doubt yet beguiling with a twisted nostalgia. Using an enormous light box, and surrounded by hundreds of single dismantled slides, she searches for two slides that will work together. Two slides are mounted into one slide mount and viewed in a slide projector. Once paired, the two slides are remounted into one slide mount and sealed. Only then is the composite scanned:
“There is a visual threshold—a point where we move back and forth between two images, wrestling until we settle on the mongrel image. Eventually, we accept the lie crafted from two truths.”
