“As they listened, they began to understand the lives of the Forest, apart from themselves, indeed to feel themselves as the strangers where all other things were at home”. - J. R. R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Camera trap is an encounter with the act of looking, with capture as an act of engagement, with the wild as a question whose answer has nothing to do with civilisation or safety. In this show, Tina Ribarits deploys analogue and digital strategies – video, drawing and installation – to collect and convey an experience of poetic-co-existence, an interval of being strange in non-human space. Here we find documentation without the imperative for accuracy, and memory whose lessons continue to recede into a space that is both beyond and within.
