CARL SLATER
Carl Slater plays on the lines that we use to differentiate between the natural and the unnatural, the dead and the living, and the finished and the undone. Through photography and assembled objects, Carl demonstrates the flexibility within these definitions.
During the residency, subtle arrangements of objects were photographed within the decaying structures of the factory. His photographs fix these fleeting associations and engraved on them the larger movement of time. The failed life of the industrial West, the faux animation of the trophy, and the pathos of the roadside death, merge in a redefinition of recent history
