Information
This bookwork offers another viewing of Matthew Tickle’s sculptural
installation Idyll, that was commissioned for Matt’s Gallery
in 1999. The book is comprised solely of 34 photographs taken by the
artist
during the exhibition. It is not meant as a document of the installation
but as a parallel project.
As Michael Newman explains in his accompanying
text: The sequence of images in the book does not allow for the reconstruction
of a narrative of walking through space: they are shot at different times,
under different conditions of light, from various angles, although it
appears at a
constant, more or less head-height… Thus the project
taken as a whole —installation and book—demonstrates both
the photographic mediation of the original experience of the installation,
and the uniqueness
and unrepeatability of the haptic experience of the installation in the
real time of a visit.
