Lordan Bunch "Det Syke"
Schroeder Romero & Shredder
This event has ended.
"Det Syke" is Lordan Bunch's fourth exhibition at Schroeder Romero and features new paintings and studies in oil derived from photographs reproduced in "Iconographie Photographique de la Salpetriere" (1877-1880), a multi volume collection of photographs documenting women diagnosed with hysteria. On a base level these reproductions are barely discernible patterns of ink indicating the reflection of light off fabric, skin, furniture and architecture. Disregarding the extraordinary circumstances surrounding these original images being made, the artist is trying to connect with the vestige of humanity still present, by manually copying these mechanically reproduced utilitarian photographs printed more than 130 years ago. The title is in reference to "Det Syke Piken (The Sick Girl)", 1881 by Christian Krohg.
