| Paul Hill has had an ongoing interest in his pets, documenting their lives and what they eat and what they kill. In "Pets Don't Buy Things" he uses a sequence of larger than life colour still life images of pet accessories to examine the way in which a photograph is read as "the thing itself", and yet can resonate with meanings and intimations, which confront the apparent objectivity of the image. This work is a metaphor for aspects of modern life that focus on image and marketing, working in a similar way to his "Displacements" work, that offered an epitaph for the Thatcher years. |
