Artist Statement:
Artist Statement – Paul
Litherland
Paul Litherland is a visual
artist/performer living in
Montréal. Primarily a
photographer and producer of
multimedia performances,
Litherland works with themes
of vulnerability, masculinity
and ideas pertaining to how
communications take place. His
relationship to technology,
one of simultaneous attraction
and rejection is a constant
underlying theme in all of his
photo-based work.
In life, as in his art,
Litherland is compelled to
create situations of physical
and psychological danger.
Finding ways to go through
fear without panicking is a
game of self-control that he
enjoys on an almost daily
basis. This desire to live an
intense experience, as seen
through his participation in
the extreme sports of
skydiving, motorcycling, BASE
jumping and boxing is
translated directly into his
art practice. Litherland
pinpoints these difficult,
complex and sometimes
cumbersome situations as
mediums for direct and honest
communications.
His most recent works include
multimedia productions and
photographic projects such as:
Art Photography, a
photographic project inspired
by the information that
accompanies an artwork when it
is photographed badly. It was
developed while in residence
in Mexico City. Most recently,
the projects BOX, and ASCII
Fighter, are boxing
performances created for Le
Rencontre Internationale ...
