Self (C) by Gary Hill - bitforms gallery

Acrylic, three video cameras, electronics, optics21.25 x 24.5 x 13 in / 54 x 62.2 x 33 cmEdition of 5, 1 AP

A series of geometric, almost clinical objects titled Self is distributed across the wall, each featuring an objective tube and soft rubber eyepiece, inviting close interaction. The works, from Self (A) to Self (F), explore identity through glossy white acrylic forms resembling medical equipment. Hill notes that the images displayed are not typical portraits but carry an inherent sense of unease and expectation. Self evokes giddiness, paranoia, and the dissolution of identity, linking seeing and movement with live circuitry, creating a sensation of being monitored and evoking a subtle paranoia.
