William Mackrell

Works present themselves as thoughts and gestures salvaged from the wreckage of saturated and distracted environments. Where the digital and minimal slickness of todays technologies run a muck with a clashing of the hand that try’s to claw back control over the beast of proliferated imagery, to end this multitude and multiple of imagery that spirals me into an overload of being mesmerised.

Balancing or hovering between existing and not being visible, fleeting, shifting, this sense of the temporary comes from my ingested self, growing up in London, where space and people are forever in flux, nothing stays reliable. This animality inside me leads these questions, looking from afar upon my surroundings and asking what are these strange humans doing? My stage is set in the language of photography but dismantled through turning photography into choreography; where dance, body, emotion, histories culminate in a rhythm that smacks with frustration, beats with repetition, endless waiting and revolving within the death of wasted time.

William Mackrell lives and works in London.
