With (1770–25k) Cécile B. Evans presents materials from three recent video works included in her solo exhibition "Timeline for a Copy without Origins" (Bielefelder Kunstverein, January 30–April 10, 2016): Agnes (The End Is Near) Hyperlinks or It Didn't Happen and What the Heart Wants . The amalgamations of text and image appear in the form of audiovisual transcripts, much of the material scavenged verbatim from popular culture and the user-generated web content of platforms like YouTube, Craigslist, and Reddit. Evans explores the themes of digital reproduction and transposition through existential discussions between characters such as AGNES, a bot commissioned for the Serpentine Galleries website, and PHIL, a bad copy of a very famous actor. This publication was supported by the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach-Stiftung under its "Catalogues for Young Artists" prize. Copublished with Bielefelder Kunstverein Design by Colophon.info
