Description

“Kelly Mark has always had an intense preoccupation with the differing shades of pathos and humour found in everyday life. Hidden in the repetitive mundane tasks, routines and rituals of contemporary culture, she finds startling moments of poetic individuation. This “imprint of the individual,” although subtle and frequently paradoxical, is something she repeatedly returns to. Through her ‘will to order’ and her (self-described) frequently inane sense of humour, her objective is the investigation, documentation and validation of these singular ‘marked’ and ‘unmarked’ moments of our lives.”– Diaz Contemporary

In Everything and Nothing Between Us, a dynamic conversation between two people take place. Through the repetition of “nothing” and “everything” this conversation feels like a spiralling reoccurrence. Like many of Mark’s work, her choice of language shifts between humour and heartbreak, joy and pain, passive and nostalgic.
