Through Tell Tale, Julian presents a series of new artworks that explore the pursuit of light and also what might lie just beyond the reaches of illumination. Having previously captured ‘cinema still’ type images the artist’s new images fall more into the category of a ‘cinema set’. Suburban, rural and industrial locations, shot at night, barely inhabited by humans – this absence creating a mysterious and somewhat sinister atmosphere within the images. Phone boxes, streetlights, railway crossings and fluoro tubes illuminating empty spaces that now night has fallen, have become, mostly devoid of life. The lights sometimes able to reveal traces of previous encounters and interactions within that space. The depth in the blacks, in the darkness, also almost revealing as much as the light.
