THE SEASONS by Claudia Hart portrays a room in which a slowly evolving sculptural figure gradually transforms. Time and its impact on the body emerges as a key theme throughout Hart’s practice; peeling back the decades to THE SEASONS (2007) and THE SWING (2006), we witness two nudes occupying weird temporalities.
Time creeps forward in a procession of flowing vines that grow from the melting body of a seated woman. She spins slowly clockwise while the room reels backwards, creating a sense of strung-out time that’s amplified by the scratchy soundtrack of crushing paper.
