Luis Antonio Santos

Luis Antonio Santos, Threshold, 26 June - 24 July 2021, Silverlens Gallery

This work is a series of images of a single set of Venetian blinds, captured and overlaid, resulting in it appearing to be in various states of disarray. Each mechanism of the system is dilapidated, causing it to lose its overall function. Named after a line in Apocalypse Now, “Each time I looked around, the walls moved a little tighter" is ultimately about isolation, drawing on thematic parallels between the film and our current situation of involuntary detachment and the toll that lost connections takes on us. It is a testament to losing track of days, an embodiment of meaningless repetition.
