HILARY LLOYD at Kunstverein München

In the context of its second thematic year >Possible Identities<, Kunstverein München presents the first extensive solo show of British artist Hilary Lloyd in Europe.

Since the mid 90s, Hilary Lloyd has been developing a consistent body of work that in ever new constellations examines the (re)presentation of the self in the interplay between image and body, gaze and pose, seeing and being seen. The starting point for her video and slide installations is the metropolitan theatre of everyday self-presentations. Lloyd finds the protagonists of her works in the clubs and streets of the urban centres. She places her actors in isolated settings and observes them in long, uncut sequences or endless slide series as they execute a single, repetitive task. In the exhibition space the austerely composed images are transposed in minimalistic installations that deploy the technologies of representation as sculptural fetishes. Hilary Lloyd thus creates a double phenomenology of the body that not only inscribes the subjects of representation, but also the viewer him or herself into a self-reflexive relationship between presence and representation.
