Roy blends dream, observation, imagination, and poetic resistance in a career survey spanning four decades. Impossible Island accompanies the Franco-Haitian photographer's first ma
jor career survey at the Art Gallery of Western Australia, including atmospheric works from France, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Thailand, Haiti, and Tunisia. Influenced by French modernism, New Wave aesthetics, creolization, animistic spiritualism, and Haitian spiralisme, Impossible Island delicately sequences Roy's refined images into a kind of open-ended story-telling, accompanied by evocative, poetic texts by the artist and an essay by curator Robert Cook.
