Sally Morfill & Susan Giles @ Five Years Gallery

For Found Gestures, Susan Giles and Sally Morfill record visuospatial imagery made by those who witnessed exhibitions and events at Five Years’ primary venues during its twenty-year history. They select fragments of these threads from a mass of motion capture data, removing them from their fleeting context and translating them into material objects. In attending to personal recollections of previous exhibitions at Five Years, these objects add to a pre-existing archive of documentation and ephemera. They convey recollections of embodied experiences: the broad-brush rememberings of past events, or careful attention to detail.
