Out of the Village

Wayne Vivier at ArtSpace

Wayne Vivier’s second exhibition is a tight, technically well-resolved body of work by a young artist. As the title suggests, the works take as their subject still shots culled from M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village, a film that explores the benefits and pitfalls of self-imposed isolation.

The surprise power of Shyamalan’s blockbuster lay in its midway shift from bog-standard terrifying thriller into a film about the anxiety of modern life, and the extent of the mythologies groups of people will manufacture to insulate against pain.
