Chloe Hurst

My artwork post-epoch was produced within the first UK coronavirus lockdown this year.

post-epoch is my response to the project - Imaginative Gardens a curatorial project created by @theiiplatform which concluded in September 2020 with a one-day public exhibition at Richmond Park, UK. The piece explores how public parks have become an escapism paradigm for the pandemic. A non-place, a nameless and faceless multitude whereby anyone can feel ‘at home’ because, as a transitional environment, they are equally alienating to everyone. Using image stills captured via Google Earth of Richmond Park, I’ve created a displacement of perspective, presenting a new virtual normality with a disembodied and remote-control gaze.
