This exhibition presented three clusters of objects that came together momentarily for seven days. Textual weavings within the groups and across the groups refer to open systems of language that cut through the viewer. Substitution and displacement of the signifier occurs metaphorically and metonymically as elements of the subconscious made manifest through the absent (latent) body. In this regard, the body of the reader-writer is primary in processes of dispersal and displacement through language. All being found objects that are rematerialised through casting and print reproduction, their origins call into doubt the unified subject in as much as the materiality of the object functions as a textual deferral.
The exhibition comprised the practical component of Brett Jones’ PhD research
