Alien, 2025
First solo exhibition at Bolding Gallery, 10th - 24th May 2025.
Isabel MacCarthy’s photographs are exercises in alienation: the array of worldly (human or nonhuman) subjects in this show have transformed, through MacCarthy’s sumptuous manipulation of colour and light, into a set of otherworldly images. In this process, everything becomes flesh: the wrinkled leather of a couch, the network of stems that sprawl out of a courgette plant, the undulating metal of an engine. Even when she captures a human subject, we remain locked out of any sense of interiority.
