Richard Dupont "In Direction"

Carolina Nitsch Project Room

poster for Richard Dupont "In Direction"

This event has ended.

The installation consists of 3 large figures cast in polyurethane surrounded by mirrored panels which transform the exhibition space into a quasi-virtual, interactive environment. Presented in the storefront Project Room, the installation suggests a staged experience, albeit an inverted one, with the activity of the street outside brought inside, and the room itself expanded into a 4-dimensional spatial riddle. Standing just over life size, the 3 figures appear to be liquefying when seen from certain angles or camouflaged from others. Like a number of Dupont’s installations since 2005, they are based on a 3-dimensional digital scan of the artist’s body.
