MARK MCKNIGHT, IN THIS TEMPORARILY PREVAILING LANDSCAPE, 2018 - PRESENT
“How do I meet the gaze of another matter-machine?
There and here borders cut between different ways of being a life form. I, with my silhouette: without becoming a tree I dare to rest here beneath the tree. This endless faith in rims, edges, cutting points and the loyalty of objects. With an endless trust in the silhouettes, in that the straps and cuts, the stitches will hold things in place.
Out of a trust in matter.
In this exact light. In this temporarily prevailing landscape.” – Aase Berg
Landscapes and queer bodies appear in flux as McKnight blurs a multitude of formal and figurative boundaries: earth and flesh, self and subject, artist and documentarian.” - Artland
