EACH DAY AT NOON
Since the late 1980s, the subjects of Rebeca Méndez’s photographic series have included industrial sites, hotel beds, landscapes, seascapes, and natural patterning. Her works are studies in the everyday, in stillness and emptiness, as well as in isolating the temporal in phenomena.
About to Happen series, 2006, consists of still frames of her 16mm film shoot throughout Iceland. By isolating a single frame of an infinite repetition, Méndez images move beyond appearance and expose temporality in phenomena. In ‘Dettifoss 001–003’, Méndez captures an instant of Europe’s largest waterfall—500 cubic metres per second, and in ‘Brekka 001–003’, luscious tall green rye grass is forcefully blown by the wind.
‘Rebeca Méndez Each Day at Noon’ at ANDLAB ART Gallery features works from Méndez’s Homeland 3 and About to Happen series.
