About The Artwork
The work that Helena Hamilton exhibited was a memory of her ephemeral, site-specific installation: “To Whom It May Concern (IEQUALSYOUEQUALSWEEQUALSME) – Remain Alive”. The memory (entitled “In Memory of I”) was made from canvas sewn together to make a 3m x 3m tent, hung from a gazebo frame. To the viewer, the outside of the tent almost resembles the back of a canvas or a make shift playhouse for a child, it is only until the viewer draws closer to the work that they find a zip on one of the four canvas walls, providing them with an entrance. When the zip is drawn upwards the canvas is opened and the viewer is invited to squeeze into this new world, clearly stamped with Hamilton’s monochrome, obsessive style of enigmatic words and symbols.

United Kingdom
Helena Hamilton is an artist who works both visually and sonically. Her practice is informed by inquisitive exploration of interaction, reconciliation and negotiation between subject, object and environment. Themes of the everyday, simplicity and repetition are consistent throughout her works in a variety of media including sound, installation, drawing, interactive digital and performance. Presence, phenomenological being and the relations between self and the world are the subject matter of her work. Often austere in aesthetic and concept, Hamilton’s work seeks authenticity in her negotiations through methodical and uncompromising simplicity. This reveals itself through effects of liveness and interactivity. She uses methods of repetition as a means to materialise variable and idiosyncratic effects, with performativity and embodied action being paramount to this process.
