Hugh Sanders
Hugh Sanders’ work appears to respond to cinema and TV and implies stories, events and situations. It does not resolve them but merely suggests these take place in spaces, which are contemporary and which we all encounter or are familiar with. They talk of loneliness and the isolation of individuals. The artist states, “Cinema and photographic reproduction have the ability to convince the viewer about a particular reality. With increased speed and the intensification of technological image reproduction, it is possible to have an appearance without any corresponding actuality. It has been argued by the French theorist Jean Baudrillard that our experience of reality is mediated by images: that we have difficulty actually distinguishing what is fixed and real and what is fleeting and simulated. This is what my work is about.”
