About the Exhibition

'RE / PRE / SENT / PAST', an exhibition featuring works by media artist 
Markus Soukup as part of Furtherfield Clear Spots programme, explores 
different phenomena from dreamscapes to long distance travel recordings, 
as well as attempted considerations of societal change in relation to 
technological developments.

It brings together fragments of subjective experiences related to 
contemporary everyday existence, which were translated and transformed 
into 'perceivable outputs' by using different digital techniques. The 
screen or the physical object as output constitutes an interface, where 
perceptual experiences of the spectator intermix with the intentions of 
expression. The wonders of perception are connected to imagination 
processes and a continuous stream of individual interpretation that play 
with the question of what defines objective reality.

About the Artist

Markus Soukup is a media, video and sound artist living and working in 
London since 2012. He is fascinated by the infinity of possibilities and 
starting points, which the work with moving images provides. Since the 
end of the 90s he produces videos, 2D and 3D animations investigating 
the narrative, expressive, poetic and aesthetic potentials of this 
time-based medium. His work has been shown in local, national and 
international exhibitions and festivals, for instance at the 11th 
international Media Art Biennale WRO 05 (Wroclaw, Poland, 2005), NEXT UP 
at the Bluecoat Liverpool (2008), the 10th Seoul International New Media 
Festival (Republic of Korea, 2010) and the Liverpool Biennial 2010. In 
2011 he was awarded the Liverpool Art Prize. As a result his work was 
shown in the 'Elements & Satellites' exhibition at the Walker Art 
Gallery, part of National Museums Liverpool in 2012. In 2013 he was 
commissioned by Metal Culture to produce the video installation Strata 
for the 'STILL, conflict, conservation & contemplation' exhibition 
curated by Simon Poulter at City Gallery Peterborough. Recent 
exhibitions include Infinite Separation, part of 'Art:Language:Location' 
at Anglia Ruskin Gallery Cambridge, and Disjointed at Museum Ex Teresa 
Arte Actual in Mexico City.
