Matt Copson\u2019s laser animation\u00a0<\/strong>Obituary (spit)<\/strong><\/em>
\n<\/em><\/strong>Kim? courtyard, Sporta 2<\/strong>
\nSeptember 7<\/strong>, 8 and <\/strong>9, during night hours<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In\u00a0Obituary (spit),<\/em>\u00a0a laser projector depicts a fox\u2019s head eternally rotating on a spit over a fire. The fox character is a recurring feature in Copson\u2019s work, an adaptation of Reynard the Fox, a character from Lorraine folk tradition \u2013 one of the first instances of anthropomorphism. The loop of the animation and the character\u2019s fate seem intertwined, occasionally evolving into various states of abstraction as if the character is melting alive or transcending its fate before constantly returning to its original condition.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hand-drawn and later computer-generated large-scale laser projection is made in a mechanical device that uses a laser beam and an x and y axis of mirrors to scan one point fast to create the illusion of a moving image. Copson became fascinated with the medium after seeing videos of Pink Floyd concerts that used early versions of lasers and noticed its potential as a visceral and sculptural medium.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Matt Copson<\/strong>\u00a0(1992) lives and works in London. He graduated in 2014 from London\u2019s Slade School of Fine Art. His work uses theatrical devices and artistic tropes to create existential dramas of contemporaneity, sentimentality, abstraction, eternal recurrence and the uncanny. Arist presented his work in solo and group exhibitions at Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris; Mo\u0308nchehaus Museum, Glosar; Serpentine Gallery, London; Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin; Sharjah Art Foundation, UAE, amongst others. In 2017, he participated in the\u00a089plus<\/em>\u00a0residency at the Paris Google Cultural Institute.<\/p>\n
