CHRIS CORNISH AND ANE METTE HOL
A Circular Play of Light and Sound
29 September - 23 October, 2011
The exhibition A Circular Play of Light and Sound is probably the most minimal exhibition at Lautom to date. In the first part of the show the only visual work was the video projection by Chris Cornish the adventure and the resolution, 2011 installed in the little back room. In part two of the show the only work visible in the space is Aberration, 2011 by Chris Cornish. A handmade globe positioned on the floor, the surface a map of the environmental lighting conditions recorded in the Utah desert, while the work of Ane Mette Hol The Concept of Clouds (That will never exist), 2011 is a sound piece, a digital reconstruction of the sound of one drop of rain multiplied.
Chris Cornish's practice often stems from advanced computer graphic techniques and methods of digital capture. To produce the globe he uses a digital recording method often employed in the visual effects industry to sample information from a real world environment and apply it to digital 3D elements. The re-lit digital elements will then blend with photographic footage shot in the same location. In this work however, he has recorded how this digital light affects a white sphere in computer space and then printed a light map, which is transferred onto a handmade globe. The object echoing the function of a traditional globe but instead visually represents the temporal nature of environment. In the gallery, by placing the Globe back into a real environment it becomes impossible to separate the affect of the real environment with that of the echo. The sphere will no longer faithfully sit in either and instead becomes an object caught between two realities, existing in two environments.
In her art practice Ane Mette Hol focuses on the relationship between original and reproduction. She works conceptually with drawing, resulting in two-dimensional drawings, three-dimensional objects, animation, and this time sound. In essence the work The Concept of Clouds (That will never exist), 2011 is a digital drawing of rain. The work starts with one drop, and then gradually the rain picks up until it sounds like pure noise, like thousands of raindrops hammering on the roof, before it suddenly stops.
At times the work of Chris Cornish will stand alone in the room, at times it will communicate with the sound of Ane Mette Hol's raindrops, and at times the hard noise from The Concept of Clouds (That will never exist), 2011 will completely dominate the room. It will shift between rain, sun and rain again, and create a cyclic atmosphere in the space, like a wave that hits the shore before it withdraws again.
