Victoria Lucas
Victoria Lucas’ practice comprises many forms of art making. From video installation to facilitating exhibitions, each thread of production is consistent in conceptual motivation. Lucas often utilizes the location selected, creating both artworks and group exhibitions within varying contexts. Her video installations in particular employ this technique, as the moving image and its specific temporality is used to record and represent time within specific spaces.
Untitled (Last Moments) captures a transitory moment; a butterfly flutters for the last time and collapses with exhaustion as it experiences the last moments of its existence. Focusing on minutiae, the film strives to create a relationship between the butterfly and the viewer, evoking a sense of fragility and mortality as the screen fades to black.
