Theo Turpin is an artist whose practice revolves around the production of installations exploring how history, language, narrative and romance combine to make ideal and idealised space. Through sparse compositions of juxtaposed material, his work takes many forms from collage to audio work and installation. These arrangements are used to explore ideas of narrative and myth being constructed and edited around us in real time, signified through the shared languages of architecture, film and popular culture. It is in this space of globally visible culture that everyday lives are augmented by popular narratives. Turpin is interested in the manifestation of this narrativisation and the ways in which it can not only support but also call into question such norms.
