Retinal Shift, an exhibition of works by Mikhael Subotzky, Standard Bank Young Artist Award winner for the Visual Arts in 2012, opens to the public at Standard Bank Gallery, Johannesburg on 17 April 2013. First shown at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown in mid-2012, this is the final stop in the exhibition\u2019s country-wide tour.<\/p>\n

Retinal Shift investigates the practice and mechanics of looking and draws on a diversity of sources: archival portraits, found surveillance footage, and Subotzky\u2019s own photographs.<\/p>\n

On show are Subotzky\u2019s seminal work, Self-Portrait (With Assistance of Optometrist) (2012) and four recent productions: Moses and Griffiths, a four-channel projection, which shows Grahamstown through the eyes of two tour guides, juxtaposing institutional and personal histories; Who\u2019s Who (2012) which comprises images scanned at ten-year intervals from Who\u2019s Who of Southern Africa; Don\u2019t Even Think of It (2012), compiled from material filmed through the window of Subotzky\u2019s Cape Town apartment; and CCTV (2011) which draws on footage of central Johannesburg acquired from the police. Also on exhibition is I Was Looking Back (2012) an installation of 100 photographs mined from Subotzky\u2019s archive.<\/p>\n

Retinal Shift deals not just with looking and seeing, but with being watched; it\u2019s the moments when the subject meets the eye of the camera, and looks back consciously, that give this exhibition its particular potency.<\/p>\n

This exhibition runs until 15 June 2013, at the Standard Bank Gallery, corner of Simmonds and Frederick Streets, Johannesburg. The Gallery (Tel: 011 631 4467) is open Mondays to Fridays, 08:00-16:30; on Saturdays, 09:00-13:00; and is closed on Sundays and public holidays. Admission is free.
