PhotoWorks 'the great escape' is the first major solo exhibition by Eric Lesdema whose work reflects a restless imagination and testing of definitions. Lesdema regards himself as a photographer, but not one from today's industrial age, more akin to a 19th Century pioneer, experimenting and happening on discovery through trial and error and the simple laws of physics.
The Great Escape
Curated by David Chandler of
PhotoWorks 'the great escape' is
the first major solo exhibition by Eric
Lesdema whose work reflects a
restless imagination and testing of
definitions. Lesdema regards himself
as a photographer, but not one
from today's industrial age, more
akin to a 19th Century pioneer,
experimenting and happening on
discovery through trial and error and the simple laws of
physics.
His new work collapses traditional boundaries between
photography and installation, art and craft, high and low
culture and aesthetics and utility. The gallery itself is
transformed into a kind of laboratory in which the viewer is
invited to observe experiments. The works reference
science as addressed in children's books, which easily
accomodate the naive and the profound, and place
universal scientific laws and accepted knowledge into the
realm of the everyday and the domestic.
May 2002 Eric Lesdema was awarded the Connecting
Flights Fellowship by the Arts Council of England.
