Empire of Light is a new work related to Alison Turnbull's recent exhibition at Matt's Gallery, Family Resemblance. Beginning with René Magritte's Empire of Light (1953-1954), the video is a serial game of 333 postcards from her existing collection that the artist posted daily on instagram from March 2024.

For 333 days, Turnbull photographed and shared a postcard, linked by a visual echo; each image becomes a template for what comes next. The result is a visual and playful game, which spills over into Turnbull's new body of paintings, shown in Family Resemblance at Matt's Gallery.
