Chiara Pirito

Chiara Pirito's imagined landscape is viewed from a protected space. Conceived as a Eliving painting', stuffed birds observe the exterior world through the windows of a vast living room. A frisson is created between these disparate worlds - dead birds view real-time ducks swimming in a lake.

Lightsilver explores the physical, conceptual and historical impact of the landscape tradition on the ideas of contemporary artists. Territory that has been conventionally explored through other mediums is here broadly extended to the moving image. An evolving montage of projections links the cinematic tradition of vista-making with the metaphoric potential of an age-old genre ­ the appearance of that portion of land which the eye can view at once. Nine artists rotate new commissions across three spaces, each entering the sequence on one screen before proceeding to the next the following week. Every fresh work has an impact on the triptych, asserting its presence and shifting the kaleidoscope before the next incoming piece changes interpretation again.
