Arts Catalyst presents ‘Fiona Crisp: Material Sight’.
“intense, uncompromising & invasive” – Art Monthly
“The subterranean settings suggest both womb-like security and the dread of underworlds and burials – both opposites held in clever balance here” – Corridor 8
A major new commission by artist Fiona Crisp that uses photography, moving image and sound to approach the material environments where scientific experiments that challenge the limits of our imagination are carried out.
Fiona Crisp is an artist known for creating installations of large-scale photographs that question the presence of the photographic object as an unstable and deeply equivocal phenomenon. Her projects have been created by spending intensive periods of time in particular locations. Previous projects have included working in the Early Christian catacombs of Rome, and in a Second World War underground military hospital.
