Description

Features texts by both Mark Lewis and William Wood. Lewis creates a fiction, developing some of the concerns in his visual work, while Wood provides a critical context for Lewis’ work in his essay.

The exhibition Burning by Mark Lewis consists of a series of eight colour composite images, each image accompanied by separately framed, colour-coded text. The images are composed of fragments of illustrations from glossy magazines. In Lewis’ words, “The work uses common popular photographic imagery, placing it in narrative configurations in order to suggest and construct certain amorous possibilities. The series attempts to trace and complicate the relationship between images, fantasy and masculine desire, and does so by making critical discourses dirty.”
