I dropped in at Kettle's Yard on the way back from a lovely cup of tea with I. Hurrah for days off!
The current exhibition is by Helena Almeida, who describes herself as a painter but much of her work is photography, specifically of herself. She seems to have an uneasy relationship with paint - it covers her in photographs, you see her as the subject paint on herself. Paint consumes her, or she consumes it? Here, she crouches on the floor. Is she ingesting the pigment or regurgitating it as she retreats across the room? Other works are choreographed/posed photos. In some, draped in black and hunched on the floor, she turns her body into a sculptural object, like a black boulder.
It's on till Nov 15 if you're interested, and I found it quite a quick visit.
