| Abstract: | This exhibition brings together images from an ongoing collaboration between Anna Lucas, Adam Gillam and Alice Walton. Playing with the idea of being reluctant performers, appearing (and disappearing) in their making, this set of photographs captures and extends this strange and inexplicable pursuit. The site of production resembles a ramshackle set, in which props, bodies and equipment are constantly framed and reframed through activity. Seemingly motivated by a desire to capture the determined efforts of the artists to remove themselves from the frame and looping between stage, action and the incidental, a sort of absurdist dance emerges. The use of reflective surfaces gently implicates the artist and viewer alike, almost suggesting an invitation to join, direct or disrupt proceedings. |

| Note: | Reluctant Performer is the collective practice of artists Anna Lucas, Adam Gillam and Alice Walton. Since 2023 they have come together through a common interest in presence – being implicated in their making through reflection, staging or direction, and absence – determinedly erased their bodies through concealment, obfuscation, adornment or by hiding. Reluctant Performer courts this tension between being seen and disappearing through the staging of material encounters to camera. The idea of ‘making an image’ serving as a pivot on which activity converges and from which photographs are made. |
