roaming projects is proud to present Mercury, an ongoing body of work by London-based artist Lewis Chaplin. Mercury shows images made of Tristan da Cunha, an overseas British territory situated in the South Atlantic. An archipelago of active volcanoes, it is the most remote inhabited island in the world and populated by less than 300 people. Chaplin’s ethnographic approach uses photographs of Tristan to speak about elusiveness, isolation and a consecration of distance within the photographic frame. Tristan is an extremely private community, accessible only, with permission, by an infrequent week-long boat voyage - meaning that we must gaze upon it through small glimpses of visibility, a process which renders visible the acts of framing, aestheticising and abstracting at work within the creation of images.
