Cameron Platter – I saw this

12 FEBRUARY – 29 MARCH 2014 at 18h00

WHATIFTHEWORLD is pleased to present I SAW THIS, a new exhibition of drawings, sculptures, textiles and ceramics by Cameron Platter.

Cameron Platter’s interdisciplinary work examines consumption, excess, detritus, discord and conflict within a fragmented South African identity. Through engagement with transitory sources, Platter’s work acts as a locus, documenting a dysfunctional contemporary reality.

In this body of work, Platter has looked towards an internal landscape, while cannibalizing personal, political, and social sources to recharge the contemporary experience. These new series, hybrid monuments to transience and impermanence, highlight Platter’s continued subversion of both medium and content.
