‘Accelerating Towards a Red Light’ is an exhibition of new video works by Ruaidhri Ryan and opens tonight at CBS Gallery on Blundell Street.
The concept of the exhibition was generated from a dubious rumour that Chinese tourists visiting Iceland were becoming more frequently involved in car accidents, due to the fact that they had acquired their driving licence not in reality but in a simulator.
Pursuing a film that could describe how simulations of reality could lead to death, Ruaidhri progress his way through three acts of a self-generated heroes journey, emphatically celebrating the fanatical, ridiculous unattainability of “making a film that can save us all”.
Preview 11/05/18, 6-9pm Open by appointment until 25/05/18.
