The Koppel Project Central is pleased to present Freeze-frame, Fast-forward, a show of works that ‘stop the clock’ at various points in the constant stream of moments which become memories and experiences, which in turn form the substance of our lives. ‘Freezing the frame’ allows us us some breathing room for reflection, analysis, and meditation. The show contrasts the fast-moving stream of our present-centred lives with the singular moments which give substance to the transitory. Reimagining history; catching the ephemeral; and weaving in political stories, social experiences and personal archives, the artists examine and respond to a variety of moments through highly individual approaches to a wide range of media.

Some of the works in the show approach the theme from a sociological/political perspective, others from a personal or retrospective angle. They also run the gamut of affective tools – from witty symbolism or gestural viscerality to contemplative framing and unexpected jumps between modes and dimensions. Freeze-frame, Fast-forward aims to discuss ways of reconciling the individual moment with the historical and the universal; past and future trauma with present laughter, and the fleeting nature of snapshot memories with the permanence of cumulative experience.
