A video collage featuring photographic imagery created by the artist on the English south coast, in a process marking desire for bodily encounters and the landscapes from which we have been estranged.
Victoria Ahrens’ Noli Mi Tangere is a video collage featuring imagery created by the artist on the English south coast. Ahrens exposes and develops photographic plates on location, before then adding chalk and shale to the printed images. In this way, she brings back a haptic encounter with the geology of the place. In the video the viewer sees Ahrens’ hand touching and scratching the photographic surfaces. Referring to the isolation and the loss of touch during the pandemic, this process marks a desire for both bodily encounters, and the landscapes from which we have been estranged.
