Set against the iconic landscape of the Pacific Northwest, Point No Point documents performances staged specifically for the camera that offer novel contexts for the mind and body. The exhibition continues to explore Jennifer Campbell's subversion of the body through absurd and explicitly physical actions.
Large projected videos and lightboxes portray the artist’s body emulating, inciting or re-imagining different beacons, signals, and forces of nature. In these works a sense of awe for the Sublime can come as both homage and parody.
Whether it’s trudging through the ocean to become a human lighthouse, triggering Mt. Rainier to erupt or walking on clouds, the body becomes a medium for experimentation often employing a tragic humor akin to that of commedia dell’ arte grotesque or physical theatre. Similar to the intrigue and frustration of watching a cat chase its tail, these performances point, or don’t point, to the absurd dualities that exist in our actions and reactions.
