Stages
An exhibition that explores stillness, motion and feminine representation.
Overview
Simone Hine and Clare Rae are Melbourne artists whose coupling has spawned an art exhibition nothing short of comfortable oscillation – Stages. As a collaborative piece, the work investigates the broader ideas related to the conditions of feminine representation. It explores stillness, motion, the relationship between the two and how they exist with the mediums of photography and moving images.
Hine’s motif follows a practice of pictorial tradition, whilst creating new narratives out of cinematic tropes. She works beyond the linear expectation of cinema and image, to take what is familiar and generate new ideas and definitions.
Rae uses stop-motion animation, photography and performance to navigate and expand the limitations of each mode, and the everyday environment we inhabit. She performs fleeting actions, suspended in time, and creates a tension between what is present and apparent, and the implied.
Together, Stages presents new works with their own individual aesthetics and lines of questions. They redefine the space of Boxcopy, to something that dives beyond location, to something more abstract and oscillatory.
