Tom Squires is an Adelaide-based artist and writer. He is currently undertaking a Masters by research degree (History and Theory) at the University of South Australia. The work for his current show, THERE/TRANSPARENT/NOT THERE/MIRROR, explores the states and possibilities of the other over there non-animated.

other

something that is not oneself

over there

not a part of one's body, that is, located at a completely parallel and detached position in space

non-animated

absent of an inner self-sustaining life-force - without consciousness

still, single frames, no movement - not animation, as in: "the technique of photographing successive drawings or positions of puppets or models to create an illusion of movement when the film is shown as a sequence" or "the manipulation of electronic images by means of a computer in order to create moving images" - yet not in the world either - something else
