The Interpreter is based on 22 Derbyshire Tarot cards, which were created by Okaku during a residency in Derby. Each card represents the artist’s own interpretation of the county's history, myths and legends. The structure is based on the original tarot such as The Fool - to travel through 22 scenes and encountering various events.
Curated by Julia Waugh for Richard Parry's The Salon at Lewisham Arthouse in London.
"Low Def", is still associated with Do It Yourself production, the economically marginalised and with counter cultural activity. The contemporary accessibility to high definition technologies has reimagined concepts of "Low Definition" and it's relevance.
There are prescient and obvious concerns with "High Definition", in its reshaping of reality and the ongoing questions of who or what will be defined. Ideas of artificiality has now far preceded current morality, self identity and the law."HD" has cultural premium, there is a ghostly equation in a render that almost clones, where mess and meta data are minimised in mimicry and mirrors of replication.
