Barry Sutton's "Mythologies" is an evocative exploration of the human condition, a breathtaking synthetic odyssey that delves into the essence of our collective narratives. The exhibition is an audacious tapestry that weaves the corporeal form with the threads of contemporary iconography, presenting a tableau that is as provocative as it is poetic.
In these images, the body is not merely a subject but a storyteller, each sinew and motion articulating tales of our symbiotic relationship with technology and the trajectory of our species. Sutton's synthetic lens captures the grace of human movement with a sculptor's sensitivity, the contours and muscles speaking to the potential and limits of our flesh.
The skateboards, serving as both pedestals and partners to the subjects, symbolize our complex alliance with technology. They are extensions of the human form, vehicles of freedom that also suggest a dependency, mirroring our own dance with the machines that empower and ensnare us.
