Oliver Frank Chanarin’s new exhibition, A Perfect Sentence, interrogates the photographic image in the age of the algorithm. At the centre of this installation are two machines made by the artist in collaboration with Ruairi Glynn and engineer Tom Cecil. They continuously hang and rehang framed photographs that are stored in stacks on the gallery floor. Appropriating the language of automation, the machines handle the images according to an inscrutable logic; identifying, sorting, displaying, juxtaposing and storing photographs for the duration of the exhibition.
