Tony Caunce
Mirror
In the video installation, Mirror, Tony Caunce is searching for new meaning in his work through the exploration of unknown territory. Taking inspiration from seminal video works, he embarked on a deliberately difficult project that involved the learning by heart of a sequence of movements from one of his own videoed performances so that they could be reproduced exactly in two separate takes. Through this work Caunce desires to direct the audience’s attention to the process of rote learning and likens this process to that undertaken by the patient draughtsman, painter or any artists who involve themselves whole-heartedly and to the extent of their ability in creating the work.
