WILLIAM COBBING (UK)
In the
recent series of videos people perfunctorily prod wet clay with their
hands or repetitively chip away at concrete that covers parts of their
clothed body or the surrounding space, such as an external suburban
wall or the dashboard of a car, to humorously unsettling effect.
Chipping away at a lump of concrete which buries the head could reflect
a desire to brutally shed light onto a disturbed state of mind. The
relationship between the two figures who blindly caress each others’
soft clay covered heads seems to embody a paradox of desire and repulsion.
These visceral encounters depict a transgression of discrete bodily
boundaries between individuals and their environment, creating an abject
sense of formlessness, and an entropic return to the gunge of the earthly
ground. The protagonists seem passively trapped in an endless
cycle, with the video loop perhaps referring to a Sisyphean notion of
absurdity deriving from ongoing struggle as opposed to final conclusion.
