| ‘Colour Chart’ is a stop-motion animation in which a figure dressed entirely in white slowly confronts one enemy after the next, throwing bricks at each character. Shot from above with the subjects lying on their sides, ‘Colour Chart’ portrays a symbolic battle between ‘white’ and ‘coloured’ opponents. Using a technique of double exposure, one by one the antagonists fade away and ‘white’ gains an upper hand. ‘Colour Chart’ is a reference to the racial conflicts that defined Rhode’s formative years in Apartheid South Africa.
Robin Rhode's solo show at the Hayward Gallery in London is on until 7 December. He also has an exhibition at White Cube Hoxton Square until 10 January 2009.
