Michel Majerus Estate

Two video collages by Jacqui Davies introduce a moving image dimension that extends and complicates the visual field, reinforced by a reflective wall. The artist’s former studio is transformed into a spatial index of the network of references underlying the Tron works. The large monochrome color fields of the Tron works are painted directly onto the wall in bright hues drawn from the Pantone palette. In the upper right corner of each, a silkscreen print is mounted, juxtaposing a promotional image from the Disney film TRON (1982) with a cropped portrait of the Berlin hacker Boris Floricic, who used the pseudonym TRON. The sequential numbering in the titles of the works, the Pantone color codes and the serially produced screen prints evoke technical manufacturing processes that, in combination with the abstract color fields, challenge the conventional notion of painting.
