Lien Botha: Amendment

Used and in good condition.

Series of photographs in 'Amendment' could function as 'a metonymic reflection of our genesis: murmurings lost to fractured atonement'. She adds in her exhibition statement: 'But then again, it is also possible that these are just 14 pages from a personal chronicle.'

The exhibition, with a satirical undertone, comprises framed photographs that the artist describes as 'stretching across 14 sets of photographic ternaries, alluding to our circuit on the brink of a deranged paradise'.

This body of work began during a solitary residency in France during 2005, with a series of small books called Springbok poems. Her recent New York Ampersand Fellowship helped to develop the ideas further when she found a minute clue in the Bronx Botanical Gardens while meandering through the snow, as shown in Beth's Maze, Amendment: the case of the mute praise singer.
