Andrew Beck’s practice combines site- specific installation, photography and aspects of painting. He is particularly well-known for his photograms (camera less photography). As Christina Barton said in an article, ‘despite the analogue nature of his practice, Beck is the product of our digital era. He is embedded in a system in which actual space and present time blur seamlessly with a screen-centric domain in which images swirl, where distances collapse and multiple temporalities coexist. In this new condition the call to medium specificity seems redundant, for now things and their representations merge and blur; place and non-place, past and present fluidly intermingle.’
