Live performance of artist playing accordion and singing through a camera obscura.

William Hunt having just graduated from Goldsmiths, is already producing his second London solo show. It was a great opening night at IBID projects, somewhere which hasn't really been showing much the past year, it definately put on a great show.

Towards the back of the gallery stands an innocuous object made from metal and canvas, and fitted with electric lights. This obsolete device has been salvaged by Hunt and imbedded into the wall, concealing a hidden alcove in the next room. As you peer into the screen in the sculpture, the face of the artist miraculously appears. This camera obscura-esque sculpture blurrs the boundaries between that of a static 2d image or tv screen and that of a live apparition - allowing you the experience to view the artist 'for real'.

Hunts work works on the boundaries of sculpture, performance and sound - somthing which is of great interest in my current practice. I think the title of his 2008 performance best sums up his practice 'I Forgot myself, looking at you'
