To coincide with Bill Fontana's River Sounding installation at somerset
house, Adam Asnan and James Holcombe will be performing their newly
commissioned sonic-cinematic work, Four Thames Walks.
---------------
Bearing little resemblance to a realistic documentary or
reconstruction, Four Thames Walks carries itself more as an exhibition
of extractions. A series of optical/audible, concrete/anecdotal
artifacts, gathered at four locations along the River Thames and
performed as an alternating sequence of image or sound alone.
The work can be seen to follow a polyptych scheme - a fragmented, but
thematically reciprocal collection of discrete parts. These parts are
offered without a specific order, diffusing any sense of a teleological
direction. This increases the capacity for each to be appreciated
independently, as well as of a greater, episodic structure.
James Holcombe is of an artist genre that seeks to film 'perfect' rolls
of
film in camera, following a structure that determines the sequential
outcome of each section of image. Adam Asnan captures his source
material using both conventional and expanded recording techniques,
re-presenting these with a range of minimal compositional agitations.
Both artists engage with their subjects via a highly considered and
sensitive approach, thus in collaboration, the meeting of disciplines
is treated with equal respect and attention.
