Paradigm Lux, 2020, Tent Gallery, Edinburgh
Paradigm Lux is a collaborative exhibition combining the thoughts and practices of Louis Lisle and Timothy Betton. Together, we have responded to the transitional nature of the materials and processes tat govern the urban environment.
The installation features a combination of materials from constructions site, metal and debris netting and projections. Projecting video through theses materials creates a function of how the material is used. Usually, these materials conceal, we want them to reveal. The juxtaposition between the hard materials and translucent sculptures serves as a metaphor for the transient relationship between art and architecture. The projections are concerned with the forensic display and performance of lines shape, colour and space being intersected, interfered and interjected.
It is important that the video visually create an illusion of familiarity but simultaneously the viewer questions the space they occupy, thus creating a paradigm.
