'Utopia' (detail) 252h x 300w x 50d cms, Graph paper and video 2007 Installation view: ‘Isobar’, Fieldgate Gallery, London. |

'Utopia' is a sculptural installation incorporating video projection. A now demolished block of flats was re-constructed with transient material (graph paper and paper clips) into an uncertain and fragile structure, as a utopian dream. The objects immateriality underlines the precariousness of the housing estate, as menacing real-life footage of its destruction (Wood Dene in Peckham) is projected back into the space. The video was shot over a duration of 4 months and records the gradual demolition of the site, in an edited version. |

Liz Harrison's practice spans a broad range of eclectic media utilising the sculptural form and architectural space with light, illusion and lens based image. Space, landscape, architecture are recurrent within the work, and evolve from personal and generic experiences of past and present spaces, re-established through spatial siting and orientation. Liz Harrison was educated at Manchester College of Art and Design, and the Slade School of Fine Art. She has shown extensively in London,including at the ICA, Serpentine, and Whitechapel Art Galleries, the UK and Europe,most recently in Amsterdam, Brussels and Italy.
