Ed Atkins is a British contemporary artist born in 1982, best known for his video art and poetry, described by the artistic director of the Serpentine Galleries as "one of the greatest of our time". Over the past decade, Atkins has been making videos and animations that trace the increasingly blurred gap between representation and actual experience. Using his own desires and his body as models, Atkins's works unconventionally exploit contemporary technologies of representation to critically reflect on what they have done to images and our "sense of self". The exhibition spans Atkins's entire career, bringing together paintings, writings, embroideries and drawings alongside his moving image works in a succession of large-scale installations. Troubled by melancholy, weakened by pathos and tempered by humour, Atkins's works allegorize loss, intimacy and love, juxtaposing a "light and immaterial" digital life with a corporeal world that has weight, craft and touch.
