Durst lambda, mixed media installation documented with a medium format film camera 120 x 140cm Impermanent Collection comprises a series of photo-sculptures and documented temporary installations based on historical and contemporary objects found in museums. Multiple visits to the Victoria & Albert and British Museums, London; the Metropolitan Museum, New York; the Archaeological Museum, the Turkish and Islamic Art Museum, Istanbul; and the Asian Museum of Civilization in Singapore have resulted in the study and documentation of particular objects. Historical, cultural, political, technological, environmental and scientific references, alongside themes of natural history, all inform this work. References which allude to a conflicted existence on earth faced by cultures today: On one hand an appreciation for the importance of the natural world for our existence and on the other an unsustainable rate of consumption. These transformed museum objects offer some disturbing thoughts about the legacy of current generations. They suggest a connection between civilizations ‘progress’ and the unsustainable structures we impose to gain it. At the same time the Impermanent Collection series imbues optimism: Imagery which celebrates diverse cultures and creativity with the hope current and future generations will learn from the past.
