Shock of the Form II is a unique collaboration between two award-winning artists: photographer, Peer Lindgreen and ice sculptor, Duncan Hamilton, presented as part of Deptford X Festival's 2022 Fringe, London's longest-running visual arts festival.
About
Balanced on the very limits of fragility, Shock of the Form II enters a transparency of thought, as naturally occuring fissures and refractions gather in response to changes in light and temperature. Ice leads the conversation, capturing the life-cycle of a moment; as a constantly shifting landscape of glacial governance plays with the way we perceive and interact with the world. A seemingly impossible lone figure seeks to examine the precarious and ephemeral interrelationship between man and nature on a critically wounded planet; passing through to share the secrets that exist only in the fleeting moments breath before they vanish, for ever.
Working collaboratively, often in a minus-20ºC shipping container in Hamilton's studio, the exhibition features large-scale photographs and a video installation by Lindgreen of Hamilton's work with ice, alongside a striking ice sculpture: a temporary performance-like piece that reinforces the narrative of fragility and the precarious relationship between man and nature.
