Whither Narcissus reimagines the aesthetic possibilities for the pathologised Narcissus—a figure who, in Western modernity, was transformed from an aesthetic to a psychological subject. As a psychological diagnosis, narcissism emerged alongside the progression of sexology and psychoanalysis, with increasing affiliations to inversion and homosexuality, becoming a surrogate for the artist and a vehicle for coded declarations of same-sex desire. Transformed from antiquated administrative use into a pictorial material, carbon paper is used to render the mythical figure of Narcissus through a queer framing of the classical western convention of the figure/ground relationship. In this exhibition we encounter the gaze of a figure whose rebirth as a perennial flower establishes a studio methodology of copies, repetitions and duplicates. These strategies engage notions of visibility, temporality and mortality to collapse fixed categorisations of the self and the world.
