Location

Stuart Simpson questions the meaning of simple, everyday experiences such as being a tourist taking photos and the performance of the smile in Smile: Formaggio con Queso. Using collected material from his field trips around Europe, a database of video, dialogue, and sound composition has been created for a randomly configured installation that uses a triptych of projections and surround sound. His use of chance combinations of image and sound generates new and unexpected meanings about modern life. Combined with an exhibition of still documentation by photographer Lisa Kelly, visitors are also able to interact with the digital components of the exhibition and examine diaries, field notes and maps from the field trip in the Smile Kiosk.
