Components of the Image brings together a selection of artists who question our understanding of how images exist now. The exhibition is the first in a series of events curating work by contemporary practitioners using seminal texts that have made us re-think what an image is and means. Using the last chapter in Gilles Deleuzes text Cinema 2 as a starting point COI brings together five artists with varied practices who deal with this theme in a variety of ways which all nod to various components Deleuze references in relationship to Cinema.
Now, it is the visual image in its entirety that must be read, the components used to ‘read’ an image being now only the ‘pointillé’ (small dots used to create a larger pattern) of a stratigraphic layer or the variable connections from one layer to another, the passages from one to the other. – the readability of the visual image, the ‘duty’ of reading the image, no longer relates to a specific element.
