I know this exhibit has ended (by a few weeks now-sorry). I just really wanted to share the pictures I took and attempt to describe the experience. The most successful piece probably being the most difficult to accurately put into words.

Displacement in the current vocabulary implies a physical move from one place to another – as if the act of displacing was to move (something) from its usual place, or to remove (someone) from a post or position of authority. In substance, a body dislocated.(JT Gallery)

This exhibition twists and plays around the free association of words and meaning, an association without any restrictions. In fact, the connotation of the act of a physical displacement is deliberately displaced from the physical condition to a mental state. Thus, the possibility of movement exists only in our mind, transporting the viewer to new worlds of imagination, to places and feelings once forgotten, where the individual is free to explore creativity unfettered by rules and convention. This becomes a game between the viewer and what they perceive. The overlapping realities confuse the eye and drag the spectator to reflect upon physical movement and mental change.(JT Gallery)

There’s nothing here: Oh! right, yes there is. Areas of the corridor and main room have been photographed and enlarged to life size and then placed as if a mirror on the walls. But some of the images are not mirror images but the space behind the wall on which they are placed.

Through this torn hole (the picture torn is of a street/parking area) is a combination of the room beyond and photographic copies of the scenes behind doors, walls and in cupboards. An added reflection is that this room is also filled with water-perhaps an inch deep.

A game of perception: Where I am not really sure if I am being shown what is really in the hidden spaces, while most of the time its uncannily difficult to understand what is real and what is a photograph or even imagination.
