drei is an ongoing series of photographic artwork that addresses three specific aspects of Christopher Young's personal life and practice - people, place and objects. It develops concepts of context, implied narrative and space to communicate, amongst other things, darkness and danger. Images are, for Chris, inherently loaded with stories. When he sees a broken door or a crumpled piece of paper he interprets these further than simple objective observation. 'Why' and 'how' are impossible to ignore. Using very limited information and his emotional response he 'fills' in the gaps and create myths. He is interested in what or who is not there, what he can't quite see and the helplessness of not being able to 'ground' an image in a time line.

installation concept

By pairing the various images in exhibition context, I hope to invent a deeply personal but at the same time completely fictional history.

Any discovery is tainted by the subjective experience of the viewer projecting their own narratives into a scene. They are then left to clumsily read or even create their own mythologies.

The animation to the left is a fictional installation only. Which particular images are exhibited is highly dependent on site, space and personal mood.

Please send me an email should you wish to see the pairs in their 'current' state.
