Aberration:
Jacinta Giles

In Aberration, Giles interrogates the aesthetics of COVID-19 television narrative as a way to reflect upon the uncertainty of the unfolding present and the anxiety that accompanies it.

Through manipulating television images from domestic screens — using experimental photographic processes that take their cues from how memory operates — Aberration represents the inward gaze of lock-down, alongside the insistent gaze outward demanded by our processing of a constant stream of media. In arresting and combining these ephemeral transmissions the work attends to questions of our collective visual memory of this experience and the affect of virtual witnessing.
