‘Simulation is no longer that of a territory, a<br />
referential being or a substance. It is the<br />
generation by models of a real without origin or<br />
reality: a hyperreal.’<br />
Jean Baudrillard<br />
Informed by Jean Baudrillard’s writings on<br />
simulation, the works intervene with the<br />
spaces in which they are shown in a<br />
disobedient manner exposing and<br />
heightening notions of falseness. Through a<br />
diverse media they assume a displaced<br />
representation that imitates and re-presents in<br />
order to confront conventions of authenticity.<br />
The curious paradoxes evoked draw on the<br />
viewer’s instinctive powers of association,<br />
encouraging a questioning of the<br />
relationships – existing and implied – in the<br />
choreography of the multiple works<br />
(fragments) across the space. In connecting<br />
with ideas of the fake and the false, I am intent<br />
on exposing the façade of the replica through<br />
playful spatial constructions that operate<br />
through actual and implied simulated realities.<br />
