About

For her exhibition at Durham Art Gallery Sigune Hamann has responded to the concurrent showing of the Lindisfarne Gospels at Durham Cathedral and the process of the manuscript's creation. In the name of will encompass work that relates to journeys and transitions and the way we experience and interpret them. The exhibition of photographs and videos will include a 56 metre panoramic photograph taken at a street demonstration and a new series of portraits of pedestrians with the inscription In the name of as posters and billboards installed in Durham City. Sigune Hamann is an artist who deals with still and moving images. In photographs, videos, installations and online environments she explores the effects time and perception have on the construction of mental images. Her projects operate in the space between the still and the moving image: she experiments with images created through movement and explores narrative structures through panoramic film-strips. Visitors with a ticket to the Lindisfarne Gospels Exhibition will receive free entry to this exhibition. www.lindisfarnegospels.com.
