2020 Vision - as seen at 2020 Visions, Hereford - 30 cm x 25 cm
|
a group exhibition with the title '2020 VISIONS' was undoubtedly never conceived to have anything to do with needing spectacles - however, with tiny letters echoing the Snellen Eye Test Chart that can be seen only through a magnifying glass, the site-specific piece '2020 VISION ' appears to refer directly to this well-known measure of visual acuity - yet, the setting of the lens apparatus at the eye-level of a six-year-old strongly suggests a more empathetic response and the taking of a perspective that's more about foresight than ocular acuity - about taking a child's viewpoint, a child's vision, a vision of the future from 2020 |
