VITAL STATISTICS
BERNADETTE KEYS
Vital Statistics is a playful post-modern exhibition where classic pin-up style colour photographs of contemporary Australian women are projected onto a screen in a lo-fi 50’s ‘slide night’ domestic setting.
Artist Bernadette Keys explores and contrasts representations of contemporary digital pin-ups with the classic genre through humour, colour, concept, irony, performance, fantasy and imperfection. Use of a slide projector to view images communicates the power of technology to shape and influence perception – as Marshall McLuhan foretold, ‘the medium is the message.’
