Kim Villaroyale is a photographer from Fake City, Countryville. My work explores the relationship between the tyranny of ageing and life as performance. With influences as diverse as Camus and Francis Bacon, new synergies are created from both mundane and transcendant discourse. Ever since I was a pre-adolescent I have been fascinated by the ephemeral nature of the universe. What starts out as contemplation soon becomes finessed into a tragedy of futility, leaving only a sense of nihilism and the prospect of a new beginning. As momentary phenomena become frozen through emergent and diverse practice, the viewer is left with an insight into the outposts of our existence.
