after darwin 20-07-2009

 

i have a story (of sorts) in the exhibition 'after darwin: contemporary expressions' at the natural history museum in london. it's called '24 emotions'. the exhibition also contains work by gautier deblonde, jeremy deller, ruth padel, bill viola, matthew killip...

you can see the small and loosely connected sections of the story underneath the portraits which were used to illustrate darwin's book 'the expression of the emotions in man and animals', the starting point for all the works in the exhibition.
