Michael Cashman in The Garden of Enlightenment
In order to see Petry’s video installation commissioned by the South London Gallery (1994) the audience had to gather up handfuls of light fibre that carried individual pixels across the space. The soundtrack could be heard in the gallery and the video was projected weekly with the installation off. The erotic video (written and directed by Petry) sees Cashman’s character struggle to cope with the loss of his lover.
