Apeirophobic Framework is an installation in the form of a strategy for considering the temporal condition of the subject- in this case the gallery viewer.

The work comprises a set which was built and utilised during the installation period to document an exhibition within it and to film an interpretational video sitting on its stage. The documentation appears as black and white photographs of (now absent) work hanging in the set, embodying both a past event and the condition of the exhibition as document in the future, after its 'physical' manifestation has been dismantled.

The video is a hijacking of Artsway's interpretational video, usually a conversation between curator and artist. The video's content is perhaps against interpretation, but its form expresses a need to plan ahead and think of the future by creating interpretational material ahead of the exhibitions' viewing. This has a direct relationship to the title of the work and the exhibition; ‘Apeirophobia’ means a fear of the future - a phobia that compels sufferers to plan every element of their lives so that they know exactly what the future has in store for them.

Apeirophobic Framework is a strategy for capturing a sense of planning and of the imagining of the future and gathering it into the present. The architecture of the set is only the most literal manifestation of the plan for the future - as it could be said that in architecture we have had our futures planned out, where we can experience them in the present.

Exhibited at Artsway, April-June 2011
