A
YOUNG GIRL SLIPPING
January 7 - January 24, 1998 |
 |
The
Project Gallery exhibits installation by Siobhan Liddell.
A presentation in the gallery has included wall drawings, looping
coils and paperworks.
When you slip, it is an accident, an action you cannot prevent.
This incident of unforeseeable change hits you in the face and you
end up on your bottom. On the one hand, this title is a small piece
of, perhaps, a larger narrative, on the other, it is an evocation
of something entirely psychological.
It happened in a dream that a young girl was slipping. She slipped
over the edge into a large body of water.
Later on dream time the child was seen under the water stroking a
very soft light. I instinctively wanted to use this title to allow
language to open up a psychological space for the viewer/reader. The
title is read but not seen, something like watching with your heart
and listening with your eyes.
Siobhan Liddell stayed at the CCA Kitakyushu as professor of the Research
Program from December 8 through 27 1997.
