Darren Almond at Museum Folkwang, Essen

23 Sep 2006

20 October 2006 – 7 January 2007

Darren Almond’s diverse work, incorporating film, installation, sculpture and photography, deals with evocative meditations on time and duration as well as the themes of personal and historical memory. Almond is interested in the notions of geographical limits and the means of getting there – in particular, culturally specific points of arrival and departure. This exhibition will present films and photographs, including a new film made recently in China on one of the highest and most difficult railway tracks in the world. Also included are 100 ‘fullmoon’ photographs: an ongoing series of landscape photographs taken during a full moon with an exposure time of 15 minutes. These images of outstanding geographical beauty appear ghostly, bathed in an unexpectedly brilliant light where night seems to have been turned into day.
