After

Melanie Daniel

18.6.09 - 17.7.09



"After" is a new group of paintings by Melanie Daniel, featuring a hallucinatory local reality.
Reservists granted rest-and-recuperation-leave (or "after") oddly remain on site, naked and unarmed. Apart from their identity tags which designate the men as soldiers, they appear as mythological characters enacting their roles in a fantastic story.
"After" absurdly occurs in the present.
