Erna Hecey Gallery has the pleasure to invite you to a special exhibition, on the occasion of the ArtBrussels Gallery’s Night, 24th April 2009:
Peter Downsbrough scrutinizes places, structurally and formally. Here, the viewer finds him/herself in familiar surroundings: the highway, an industrial storage area, an intersection – the interior of an art center and its immediate surroundings. Repetition plays a dominant role: repetition of views, of camera movement; repetition (and alternation) of interior and exterior, of ambient sound and silence.
As examples of an ‘archeology of the present’ (Foucault), these are spaces of ‘our time and age’ – at the same time old and new, known, yet strange. More interesting however is the way Downsbrough always comes back to a specific topology – and how this topology repeats, doubles and mirrors itself in the film as film. In doing so, many spaces (many topoi: common places) appear, where viewers can lodge themselves – as long as the film lasts.
