“No Love Lost”
Jo Scicluna
24 Feb → 11 Mar 2006
No Love Lost is an installation by Jo Scicluna combining photography and the moving image.
Two protagonists [a male and a female] form the basis of a double circular narrative recorded in an underground train station in Vienna. The couple exist in a labyrinthine context within which they share a continual state of transience and no apparent destination. Due to their shared rhythm, they maintain [and are defined by] a closeness in proximity, but are destined never to meet. They become linked by one action of ‘modifying’ a bill posted image throughout their journey, which is the subject of one photographic document.
This document becomes an accumulative trace of their remote interaction.
