| Is Happiness A Warm Gun - Alles Klaar |
Actually, I was late to the
opening. I got involved in a fun and funny IM and time just flew-by even
though I’d had had the opening pencilled in all day. By the time it finally dawned
on me that I was late, the region was already full – such is the popularity of
Alles’ and Kynne’s work, and the Nitroglobus Gallery itself. It would be
another 90mins before there was enough space on the region to squeeze in!

The exhibition, called ‘The Sum of Our Parts’, showcases some of
Alles’ and Kynne’s extensive flickr collection, a sample of which can be seen
here. The exhibition is so named according to Alles’ notes because “if you look
at our work you will often see me in human form but with android arms, or Kynne
in dolly form but in the most wonderfully glorious outfits.”
What I especially like about
these photographs – apart from the obvious fact that they are superbly composed
with fabulous avatars, outfits and attachments – is that each is a little
vignette of a larger story. You are not told what events proceeded the image or
what follows, but are given a momentary snapshot in time. It is analogous to
opening a novel randomly and reading just one paragraph or page.

Kynne herself puts it well, “My
images are just pictures …. a mood … a moment in time. I would love to be
thought of as a visual storyteller and my pictures as illustrations to a
children’s book… It is fascinating to hear what imaginative
stores others come up with as they look at them.”

| Sunday Afternoon - Kynne Llewellyn |
Once again Dido and Nitro,
artists in their own right as well as gallery curators, have put together a
fine exhibition well worth the effort to visit.
The exhibition runs at Nitroglobus
Gallery until the end of July. I highly recommend it, as well as viewing Alles’
and Kynne’s respective flickr accounts.
