Sondra Perry
£950 (+ VAT)
Typhoon coming on, 2018
Lenticular print mounted on aluminium
110 cm x 42.5 cm
Signed and numbered
Edition of 40 + 10 APs

This print is Sondra Perry's first Limited Edition and is based on the artist's first solo exhibition in Europe, which took place at the Serpentine Galleries in 2018. She created an immersive environment with a newly conceived soundscape to accompany her animation Typhoon coming on (2018).

The projected videos begin with an animation of an ocean that the artist created using the tool Ocean Modifier available in the open source software Blender that allows users to simulate, generate and deform ocean surface. In her video, the ocean is purple as is the colour warning that appears on the software when there is an error with the simulation. The animation then blends into a digitally manipulated image of J.M.W. Turner’s 1840 painting Slave Ship (Slavers Throwing Overboard the Dead and Dying, Typhoon Coming On). The original work depicts the drowning of 133 slaves by the captain of the British slave ship, Zong, to claim compensation for these ‘goods’ under the salvage clause of the ship’s insurance policy.

This lenticular print is composed of two stills from the work Typhoon Coming On. As the viewer sees the print from different angles it reveals one image, that then smoothly blends into the other.

Sondra Perry (b. 1986) constructs multifaceted narratives that explore the imagining, or imaging, of blackness throughout history. Often taking her own life as a point of departure, she makes works that revolve specifically around black American experiences and the ways in which technology and identities are entangled. Her use of digital tools and platforms, such as Chroma key blue screens, 3D avatars, open source software, and footage found online, reflects critically on representation itself. Perry’s investigations demonstrate that digital technology functions as an attribute of power, and another tool that reimagines the possibilities of networked collectivity.
