Mirror with a Memory is a catalogue comprised of new photographic work from Ashley Gillanders that explores the perception of space and time. Using a variety of imagery including theatrical stage curtains, mirrors rendered in virtual/digital environments, and fabricated sets paired with photographic ‘representations’ — this work relies on exploring the physical distance between seemingly similar objects to render spatial complexities and uncanny experiences that blur the lines between spaces of origin. Mirror with a Memory explores these spaces between physical and virtual space, questioning what is real and what is perceived to be real.
 
A publication in conjunction with Mirror with a Memory, a solo exhibition by Ashley Gillanders that ran at PLATFORM centre from 10 January – 21 February 2020.
