Holmes à Court Gallery @ Vasse Felix
Opening this Sunday 21st February, Intimacy is about intimacy and its antithesis. It offers a look at the past through the lens of the present and in particular the collective state that overcame humanity throughout 2020. With attention to the joys of proximity with others and the pain of separation, Intimacy pictures scenes of decadent celebration, nights at the theatre and groups of people clustered at the beach. These are in contrast to scenes of isolation, convalescence, despair and emptiness. Intimacy acts as a reminder of the value of others; of caring and celebration; of the potential of a joie de vivre in a world in which intimacy is so easily endangered.
