Andy Boot

Work from his oeuvre.
“…The works are part of Andy Boot’s ongoing investigation of different zones or planes integral to the organization of an image: Andy Boot asks, all but rhetorically, not to mention paradoxically, if it is possible to make an image that is not an image. Indeed, what constitutes an image now that we live in the labyrinth of images? What is its current zero degree? And how is that determined? Orperhaps better yet, legislated? (Chris Sharp)
He pursues these questions with rigour, still his analysis of images is characterized by wit and modesty: Engaged with gestures of reduction, Boot commits himself to the random and uncertain, until a pattern appears.” – text via Croy Nielsen
