Dorothy Hunter
Dorothy Hunter has a research-based practice and works with political effects upon time and space. The power structures behind historiography, built environments, and information access are explored in works that often play with the act of display and translation.
She often uses installation, working across sculptural and digital media to play with differing proximities of knowledge and suggestion. The sources used see a ‘digestion’ of information by art, and work into visual culture’s wider co-option as a political tool. Recent projects consider digital archives of prospective monuments, the production and marketing of terror-resistant architecture, and geopolitical natural history networks on the Irish border
