Victor: Expense of Spirit In A Waste of Shame
Suzann Victor's large-scale installation for the Adam Art Gallery, the
first work by this artist to be seen in New Zealand, explores an
interest in vision and mis-recognition as metaphors for the complexities
of understanding of self and others. Victor places the viewer within an
amazing moving array of lights and mirrors, arousing responses of fear
and narcissism, attraction and repulsion, within a space fraught with
the nervous tensions of desire and potential violence. A diasporic
artist, born in post-colonial Singapore and currently based in
Australia, Suzann Victor regards her works as "offerings that
visually embody the "Others with/in the Other". Victor
represented Singapore in the 49th la Biennale de Venezia, 2001.
