A time-capsule exploring falling and recovery from Jemima Hoadley in collaboration with Camilla Greenwell. Part of Artist Archive.
I Am Not Static was a personal exploration of falling and recovery, using movement, conversation, photography, and video as storytelling. The work archives Jemima – as she enters peri-menopause – intrigued and repelled by her own form, curious with the strangeness of the rebound of her flesh, as she repeatedly falls. Through the archive Jemima is in dialogue with her body, with time, moving with her 10-year-old daughter (just on the cusp of puberty) and in conversation with a childhood friend.
This Material Archive was a time capsule of 2020-2021 and the process of ageing during global lockdown. At a time of being physically static, time was not standing still – a cycle of falling and rising, from ashes, to ashes.
The I Am Not Static exhibition guide included audio and text descriptions for each piece in the exhibition. Explore the guide here.
