‘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 />
