| About the Artist |
|
Tessa Garland’s work creates illusionary atmospheres out of everyday visits to familiar spaces. Video,installation and photography are all employed to express her ideas- often with a sense of irony and play. Small models are sometimes constructed as part of this process and the collected elements then fused together to create new psychological and invented spaces.
Recently, she has made a short series of video works in retail parks on the outskirts of London. Partly as a result of the surreal architecture, the work in these locations attempts to create an implied narrative that references early science fiction films from the 1950\\\'s - 1970\\\'s. Musical samples from these films have been extracted and remixed to a new rhythm of the generic retail park, where strange and dark forces lurk behind the kitsch fabricated facades of the shops.

| Park Life (2008)
|
|
|
(Duration: 00:01:09)
Park Life takes a humorous look at the demolision and building process that is happening in the 2012 Olympic Park where cranes tear at pieces of buildings and the earth rattles and shakes.
Park Life is based around the 2012 Olympic site boundary and playfully mixes ideas of power and destruction with those of absurdity and wit. Classic works such as Jurassic park, Godzilla and King Kong have all influenced the work.
