Résumé:
Zin Taylor tells the story of how a crystalline form was created using a series of landmarks in a neighborhood in Antwerp, Belgium. This story begins in the winter of 2006 when the artist finds an invitation for an exhibition by Marcel Broodthaers dated 1969. Taylor visits the present-day site of the exhibition, gallery A379089, and searches for evidence of this curious historical exhibition by the late Belgian artist. Although the gallery has long since closed, Taylor begins exploring the neighborhood invoking the memory of Broodthaers.

Résumé:
In Zin Taylor’s ‘Ambient Visions of a Dot’, the artist records a day spent walking around the coastal village of Shimoda, Japan. Captured in black and white, using an old Sony Cyber-shot camera, the high contrast photographs explore a landscape rich with allegorical content. As a process of creation Taylor uses the camera as a skillful travel companion, one that is particularly adept at teasing out the sublimated influences embedded within this bucolic environment. The resulting images, along with a text written by the artist, address the abstract, surreal, uncanny, and sometimes hallucinogenic transformations of one thing into another. A series of ambient visions that document a landscape’s whimsical metamorphosis into a language of chromatic form.
