Tyranny of Distance

In Tyranny of Distance, Meyrick Kaminski explores the complicated relationship between media, memory and objects.

Kaminski's work begins with the collection of artefacts - objects which are seen to be imbued with memory or a sense of place - and examines them with the help of the video camera.

Works in the exhibition question whether an open mind is possible at all when encountering a new place, attempt to recapture lost time and examine the soul of an object. What these works have in common is a spirit of inquiry across time and distance that eventually breaks down the role of the camera itself.
