City Art Gallery Visit

When placing yourself in front of Susan Hiller's 2010 'Rough Times' your drawn to each separate panel as an individual image. Each panel a distinguished colour but still some how contains every other colour still. The colouring creates a more contemporary feel. These colours almost give the work a dreamlike quality which creates a disconnect between what is imagined and what is reality. A set of nine panels, postcard style as such, landscape and sea scene. I do find interesting though that when viewed very close up, each image is pixelated and unclear until viewed from a distance. The size of the piece hung there on its own is impressive and sets of a mood after viewing it in the room.
