Something Like a Picture (for Gustav) is a tender, fresh and available image. It speaks about an urgency to break the world's problems as they are representational. Wyn Evans wished the picture to attain the status of something like a key to the fabulous possibilities of the real that don't castigate blame or promote promotion.
Cerith Wyn Evans (born in Wales, 1958) began his career as a video and film-maker, initially assisting Derek Jarman, and then making short, experimental films during the 1980s which often concentrated on dancers.
