Tall Tales

By Christabel Stewart, 13:18 Thu 20 Dec 2007

Artist Tris Vonna-Michell was a photographer dissatisfied with letting his images do the talking, so he began evolving stories around them. These stories, told while showing photocopies and projected slides and handing out various props (such as an egg timer that determines the length of the story to be told), are dense and rapidly articulated. At London's Cubitt gallery Vonna Mitchell performed in a dark and crowded room, so visibility is low, but the tale and the telling are absolutely worth a listen.
