Sam Taylor-Wood b. 1967 FIVE REVOLUTIONARY SECONDS VII colour photograph 21 by 200cm.; 8.25 by 7.75in. Executed in 1997 this work is number 2 from an edition of 3. provenance Jay Jopling London Literature Exhibition Catalogue Milan Fondazione Prada Sam Taylor-Wood London 2002 p. 24-25 illustration of another example in colour During a five second time scale Sam Taylor-Wood rotates the camera on its axis the product this single panoramic image which despite being decidedly sequential in nature is ultimately devoid of narrative. In the present work we view the inhabitants comfortable in their setting utterly unaware of one another although confined within a common space. The subjects are divorced from their affluent surrounds held within staged scenarios and left frozen in their fallacious solitude leading us to speculate on how these ambiguities will resolve if they ever do. The artist described the method behind her work as breaking "... down a scene into its basic building blocks. First the narrative structure is removed then the whole thing is filtered and divided into separate sequences" a technique that prevails in Five Revolutionary Seconds VII.
