Exhibition: Mapping the Assassin
Trocadero, 25 April - 12 May 2018
These purse sized portraits sieve through a canon of biopics unearthing how the authourship of one's own story can be eroded and arrogated by more powerful voices. They are contemplations of lives represented/misrepresented, swallowed up, regurgitated, repackaged and spat back out onto the screens. Lives revised. Histories distorted. Characters assassinated.
