AFTER ICONOGRAPHIA
Video Installation
Material
60 min 3 channel video (looped).
From 2006-2010 hancock & kelly performed Iconographia – a durational performance during which Traci Kelly sealed together the entwined bodies of Richard Hancock and a slaughtered pig with gold leaf. The work was a shimmering meditation on ritual, spectacle, value, and loss.
As the final live performance ended as part of IBT10 in Bristol, the work transferred to screen. After Iconographia adds another layer to the work – a further shimmering skin, that both reinforces and transcends the bodies contained within.
