Victoria Fu's solo exhibition, Milk of the Eye, includes color photographs, looped film projections and precise graphite drawings. Fu evokes a middle place: an edge, loosely remembered scenes from an old, vaguely familiar film. The crackly old film is more spare now; there is a nervy, quiet space between scenes. A film may be a drawing or a photographic fragment may be a drawing. A pencil drawing may not be drawing—not exactly. There is a narrative overlay, a wondering about icons and about representation in general. There are unfamiliar characters—some ghost-like, some from an even earlier time, some holding mirrors and some framed by mirrors.
Milk of the Eye is unsettling. I am thinking about a love affair ended prematurely, an exploding face, unwanted halos and persecuted saints. I am thinking about how human bodies decompose. Perhaps we will become troposphere-mesosphere-stratosphere, colors, moody grains, underground. The dead are bandages, broken necks, slippery-soft, gray-purple, silvery-orange spray, erasure. - Marcus Civin
