Hector and a Polaroid of the Shroud of Turin

Another attempt at seeing how these images can fail. Not representative of the snapshot but something inbetween this reality and another.

Presenting two self-portraits in Robin Hunter Blake’s distinctive stroboscopic style, paired with a multimedia installation. The photographic works, printed on brushed aluminium, depict the artist from the front and back. The frontal image became the central inspiration for the show, its iconography recalling Saint Sebastian, pierced by arrows, yet enduring. This figure of resistance became a reminder to carry on through hardship. In parallel, the bullfight emerged as a metaphor: The bull, worn down over time, absorbs spear after spear until its final moment of recognition: the acknowledgement that it fought bravely, gladiatorial in its persistence. Like the saint, the bull embodies struggle, an image of endurance in the face of inevitable defeat. To weather the storm is itself a form of dignity and evidence of one’s humanity - echoed in the installation’s boxing bag, suspended and scarred, bearing the accumulation of countless punches and bullfighting spears, yet standing until the end. Together, the works articulate both the visible and the invisible: the prints gesture toward the internal, the immaterial realm beyond the eye, while the boxing bag, spears, sawdust and steel manifest the physical weight of experience. This dialogue between image and object becomes a meditation on reconciling with the past - acknowledging pain, even being grateful for it, so that it might serve as a reminder to remain steadfast in the face of adversity. In this, the work reaches toward something elemental: the animal instinct to survive, and the human condition that transforms endurance into meaning.
