Current Work

    Jim Russell produces images that are familiar and puzzling. Originating from common sources such as documentary and social media, personal, national and international archives, the works resonate because of their incompleteness; they hang in suspension as fragmented film stills suggesting partial narratives that can only be completed by the engagement of the viewer. To do this, viewers must draw upon their own positionality (informed by experiences of historical and contemporary media, and social, cultural and political systems) to resolve the work.
