Christine Lucy Latimer: Fragile Systems

The films and videos of Christine Lucy Latimer defy their containers: they reveal the fragile systems underlying media, press the boundaries of image-making machines, and embrace the faults and frailties of vision. Almost all of Latimer’s work is silent, but nothing is truly silent: Latimer’s images recall the hums, tweets and mechanical moans of the technology with which she made them. Her work began long after most of the formats she employs had become obsolete. Refusing the universal nostalgia of the antique camera and the antique image, Latimer’s works are undeniably present-facing and playfully disobedient, ethereal, and abstract. Supremely self-conscious yet mystical, they are seances that draw out the ghosts in the machine.
