Lucy Raven

Nightlight 2016

Edition of 20 + 2AP

 

Taken from a stereoscopic calibration test card used by cinema projectionists to focus their equipment, the image in Nightlight, this new edition by Lucy Raven is backlit, slowly changing over the course of the day. Continuing her interest in the processes and structures that take place behind the camera, she has collected an extensive number of test cards, incorporating them into works like RP31 (2012), which was included in her recent exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery Edge of Tomorrow (8 December 2016 – 12 February 2017).

Lucy Raven's (b. 1977, Tucson, Arizona) work focuses on the marginal spaces at the edges of image production, what happens behind the camera or between the frames of a film or animation. She follows the production of copper wire from an open pit mine in the American West to a smelter in southern China in China Town (2009). She observes post-production technicians converting Hollywood films to 3D in Chennai, India, linking the digitally created illusion of depth to ancient Indian bas-reliefs in The Deccan Trap (2015). She describes spaces and people on the outskirts of Kingston, New York in the hand-drawn animation I Felt As If I Had Actually Been To China (2007). This shift of focus from the image to its production encourages interrogation of the kind of imagery that has become all too familiar.
