Green on red gallery, Dublin
O begins with the ontological conundrum or hide and seek of being and being seen. In the work of Damien Flood, Sofia Hulten, Jiri Kovanda, Jonathan Monk & Douglas Gordon and Roman Ondak, O explores the play with the viewer, the process of viewing and the thing viewed.

The object is elusive or under threat. It is undermined seeks a surer footing. In a line from the author describing his only work for film, called Film, Samuel Beckett describes 'non-being in flight from extraneous perception breaking down in inescapable self-perception'. O finds this mercurial quality in works that stubbornly resist simple definition in a generation of artists.
