Two Figures In A Room
Archival pigment prints from 120 mm colour film | 2018
“Two Figures in A Room” is a study of intimate moments within the subject’s bedroom. Burdon considers the bedroom a deeply personal sanctuary for each of us that distorts itself alongside our emotions and daily activities - we sleep, we cry, we feel most lonely, we fuck, we dream and we tell secrets there. As she presents two lovers, their bodies together transforming into a beautiful mess, we see the emotions of lust, love and infatuation personified. The series of images take form as a dream sequence, the room and their surroundings appear unusual. Which elements keep the viewer grounded? Which keep our mind wandering beyond the work?
