Cinema has revised almost everything about itself. Silence became sound. Black and white became colour. Flat became three-dimensional, then four. Screens grew, then shrank, then became personal. One element has passed through all of it unchanged: a handful of corn, opened by heat, held in the dark.

These works give the popcorn the one thing it has never had: attention. Every piece is hand-painted, one by one with a hyper-realistic precision that makes each kernel appear almost edible. In return it gives up the one thing it was for. It can no longer be eaten. What’s left is the shape, the whiteness, the air inside it, and eighty years of being present without being noticed. The oldest thing in the room finally gets the seat facing the other way.
