LISA RISBEC

The fragmented narrative of The Organised Body installation intends to work as a tableau of memory or dreamscape. Two films are projected onto different spaces. One onto a quilted screen, tied across the space with archival tape, the other onto objects. Things used in previous works appear in new forms, and a dreamlike and disjointed sound loop creates an environment of unreality. 

​

On screen, hands arrange; sorting objects into aesthetic arrangements.  A stone, a grape placed onto an orange gridded blanket.  Again it feels familiar, objects seen before. An archive of stuff, used repeatedly. Pebbles are poured out onto a fabric grid and painstakingly arranged. A person sits cross legged, absorbed in the task of unravelling a tangled pile of wool. The sea breaks over the gridded fabric. On the other projection, the same hands carefully put objects away. They mend and tend to.
