In the second room, the viewer steps directly into 3 Modern Figures (don’t forget to breathe), an installation of three human figures resting on a raw wooden floor. These are not heroic figures but a candid snapshot of modern individuals frozen as if time had stopped. In the empty core of the sculptures light emanates and pulses.
Aitken’s exploration of a humanity engulfed by the inescapability of digital technology is further explored in the exhibition with this artwork. This artwork explores a landscape of transformation, the shift of the material to the immaterial. As light, colour and abstract images synchronize through the bodies of the installation they create a continuously changing juxtaposition between isolation and absolute connectivity.
