Candice Breitz

4 November 2005 - 10 December 2005
Opening Reception 4 November 2005 8pm

Back Gallery:

Soliloquy

The work of Kristan Horton (Toronto) and Candice Breitz (Johannesburg) examines the language of pop culture and the mechanisms of the moving image. Breitz takes popular video (a Sharon Stone film, the TV show Dallas, a Madonna music video) and empties it of all narrative, distilling it into something entirely new. Horton thinks about cinema in terms of the single cell. For a recent work, he meticulously recreated very scene from Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove with found objects from his studio, for example.

In the back gallery, Breitz presents Soliloquy (Clint), a videowork which reduces the film Dirty Harry to only the speaking parts of the protagonist.
