Darren Almond

In his films, photographs, live broadcasts, and kinetic sculptures, British artist Darren Almond explores changing conceptions of time and space as experienced by people in today’s technological age. Delving into both personal and historical memory, Almond often inverts and collapses the normal divisions between space and time, making us question our ability to demarcate them into measurable entities. SITE Santa Fe will present four video works by Almond, including his train films and his poignant multi-screen installation If I Had You (2003), for which he was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2005. Attempting to capture the memories of his grandmother on film, Almond uses both video and sound to conjure the incessant and inevitable passage of time. SITE will also debut Almond’s new three-channel Tibet train video.
