ARTIST STATEMENT

limbo

Lucas Davidson’s exhibition limbo explores the intermediate space between photography and video.

Through acts of separating photographic emulsion from its paper backing, the final video works document

images of the artist’s body as it circulates, drips and floats in water. Over time, Davidson's images distort

the subject and blur the line between the defined and undefined image. By recognising the ambiguous and

intangible nature of the human condition and exploring this through his chosen medium, Davidson’s

intention is to remind viewers of their own life and mortality, placing emphasis on ‘change’ as the only

constant in our lives.
