| The subjects of Colby Bird's work--among them pornography, hip-hop culture, the suburban middle class--are all structures marked by projections of longing and desire. What makes the work an original formulation of identity in these potential fields of anonymity, is Bird's privileging of and respect for reality in the form of the object--fetish object, art object, art object as fetish object, fetish object as art object. In these objects is his translation of and compassion for one of the most difficult and complex aspects of human reality: the constant discrepancy between our perception of and hope for reality, and our experience of it. |
