Zombie showcases new video and print works by Charles Maggs. The show negotiates the mechanisms of contemporary society and some of its systems, with a particular interest in the accidental consequences, fear and pace have upon them. The results of these accidents are often, in equal parts, banal and horrific. The work is particularly concerned with the delivery mechanisms of this ‘globalised’ fear, the media, and how images from this system can be refigured to suggest alternate readings of these manufactured truths. Zombie is perhaps a reflection of a symptom rather that the condition itself.
