Felix Oliver
The photograph as a container for memory. Not just as a static image, but as a mutable surface, a vulnerable record, a crafted resemblance.
Felix's fabricated windows hold something off- kilter, both familiar and misremembered. His work entangles with the potential for images to act as desire lines - as a trajectory into reminiscence. A stand in for unmarked graves of recall.
Like craning to reach into a dream from the night before, the work becomes a trace, a record of feeling.
I was here before, I'm sure of it.
