2015 Havana Biennale (Cuba) Selection Exhibition Grenada, West Indies

Fi Fennell is a photographer that lives between Grenada and the Isle of Wright. In her work she experiments with her audience’s perception and observation. The series of six photographs she presented for the show are portraits of a reflective cube placed in different positions around the Grand Anse beach. They capture the immediate space the object rests in along with the surrounding scenery reflected back out. Fennell has taken something mundane, a still life, an image that is typically limited and has enhanced it, giving the viewer a broader picture. She gives us landscapes within landscapes, a panoramic view within one image. In her work she is giving us all the information not just what lies right in front of us. She reminds us that the world is multi-faceted, there is depth and many layers beyond what we see at first glance. Being from two places helps inform her work. It allows her to have a different perspective, to step back and out of her environment in order to fully see it.
