ANITA THACHER – LOOSE CORNER
2021-12-20Microscope is very pleased to present Loose Corner, the third solo exhibition at the gallery of works by Anita Thacher (d. 2017). Loose Corner concentrates on an eponymous 16mm film installation, begun in 1980 and completed in 1986, employing surrealistic sensibilities and optical illusions created with analog film printing techniques to address everyday life and dreams within the domestic realm. A selection of associated photographs from a 1980 series created with optical processes, stage sets and cast of characters similar to those in the film is also on view. The exhibition follows the 16mm film component’s preservation by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences this year.
Opposite – Untitled (child and dog), 1980
Exhibition runs through to January 29th, 2022
