The piece, therefore, consists of two projects which combine to create one. The first, 'Build', is a hand-drawn recreation of the white-painted bricks in my garage, which for so long had been my studio, or theatre. By re-drawing each of the individual one-hundred and eighty-one bricks I have endeavoured to recreate the same wall, the same studio and the same room in the exhibition space, thus transcending temporal location.
Simultaneously, I embarked on my 'Fall' piece, in which I sought to
recreate one of the most famous photographic images of all time: Robert Capa's 'Death of a Loyalist Militiaman, 1936', which was allegedly faked. The resultant pastiche of Capa's iconic decisive moment was re-enacted one-hundred and eighty-one times, and like 'Build', I re-constructed my garage wall with the photographs produced. Together, both elements constitute a commentary on truth, authenticity, repetition, recreation and imitation.
