Hilary Lloyd
Kunstverein Munchen, Munich
In the exhibition space the images are transposed in minimalistic installations that deploy the technologies of representation as sculptural fetishes. Lloyd thus creates a double phenomenology of the body that not only inscribes the subjects of representation, but also the viewer him or herself into a self-reflexive relationship between presence and representation.
Solo show
In the context of its second thematic year >Possible Identities<,
Kunstverein Munchen presents the first extensive solo show of
British artist Hilary Lloyd in Europe.
Since the mid 90s, Hilary Lloyd has been developing a consistent
body of work that in ever new constellations examines the
(re)presentation of the self in the interplay between image and
body, gaze and pose, seeing and being seen. The starting point for
her video and slide installations is the metropolitan theatre of
everyday self-presentations. Lloyd finds the protagonists of her
works in the clubs and streets of the urban centres. She places
her actors in isolated settings and observes them in long, uncut
sequences or endless slide series as they execute a single,
repetitive task. In the exhibition space the austerely composed
images are transposed in minimalistic installations that deploy
the technologies of representation as sculptural fetishes. Hilary
Lloyd thus creates a double phenomenology of the body that not
only inscribes the subjects of representation, but also the viewer
him or herself into a self-reflexive relationship between presence
and representation.
Hilary Lloyd (*1964) lives and works in London. Her work has been
presented in numerous international exhibitions: Venice Biennial
(2003), Gwangju Biennial (2002), Steirischer Herbst (2001) and
Tate Triennial, London (2000) amongst others. Hilary Lloyd has
been awarded the renown >Paul Hamlyn Award< in 2000.
