Adrian Reilly, Several Distances at Once

Adrian Reilly, Several Distances at Once

This exhibition is concerned with global consumption, situational happenstance and the migrations of both humans and the inanimate. The objects depicted are that of mass production and consumption, suggesting narratives of the everyday. The work is influenced by the Modernist conception that everything is connected, that the residue of invisible social relations is found in urban detritus and that photography, rather than containing definitive narratives – due to its supposed veracity – is merely a catalyst for a multitude of subjective possibilities, which suggest the myriad hybrids of human relations.
