CANDLE BY ROBIN RHODE
‘Candle’ by the South African artist Robin Rhode is a black and white 16mm film projection in which the artist “lights” a simple sketch of a candle with a lighted match. As the match burns the film switches between negative and positive, until it fades away with the extinguished flame.
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.
