This event has ended.

Ubiquitous object, Ambiguous Things – Resisting Disappearance is derived from the empty space found in clearplastic packaging. The transparent form of the empty vacuum package is both an object in itself and an echo of the commodity it once encased. In this exhibition, Julie Shiels attempts to reproduce the empty space left behind by consumption.

The voids in these ready-made molds have been amplified and transposed using two ephemeral materials: light and dried plaster. Shiels uses a combination of photograms and loose caste objects to visualize a trash item in a way that can be perceived beyond its status as commodity. The project seeks to reflect on the temporality, the materiality and the mutability of waste.
