Austin Charles Williams is presenting solo show Pale Reflection (No Friends but the Mountains) at London’s a.m. at All Hallows Church, on October 23.
Coming at the end of a research trip in Iraqi-Kurdistan, the video work by Williams is accompanied by a text piece by writer Daniel Neofetou describing it as a piece that never attempts to “stabilise [the author’s] viewpoint as omniscient”. Instead, “each shot is clearly mediated, whether that’s because the shadow of Williams and his camera is evident in the frame; because the shot is through the window of a moving car; or simply because the saccadic movements leave little doubt that the camera ‘eye’ is anything other than a corporeal ‘I’.”
“It’s spectacular.
It’s peaceful.
It’s joyful.

Mediation
It tells me:
Go, cross over me.
Grow up:
Love
Doesn’t carry even the smallest load.”
