 DISPLACEMENTS AND BEGINNINGS |
Displacements and Beginnings
"I believe we go through certain crises, some internal struggles, where we have to shift gear and be honest with ourselves. We need something to hold on to." Quote Just Loomis.
DISPLACEMENTS AND BEGINNINGS represent a cross-road for Bye-Tiller. This body of work told different stories. They were fragments, glimpses of tales that could be intertwined to create a greater unity; like films where several storylines take place at the same time. Some pictures displayed little and seemingly unimportant props that were recognizable to the spectators from own daily life; an invitation to include personal experiences whilst studying the picture. Others were unpredictable, mystical and a bit haunting with ambiguous stories. Others again remained untold and forced the audience to make up their own tales that could lead them in many different directions.
