Utako Shindo - "束の間の、つなぎのようなもの - That is, like a brief moment to be filled" / Andrea Gruetzner - "Tantzee" & "Erbgericht" (CCP)

Two enjoyable shows at CCP.

Utako Shindo: a reflective installation of photography, video, sketches and more. Spaces, repetition; lines, mountains; cats, moths; bark on cracks, chair and felt; nature, horizons. Japanese aesthetic; Australian setting, and explicitly located in the CCP itself.


Andrea Gruetzner: especially "Erbgericht", a series of photos of a guesthouse in Saxony, Germany, in which the framing and use of artificially-induced colour flatten out perspective in interesting ways. Below, a full one and some 'details' that particularly struck me.
