From the solo exhibition ‘Something that happened but never took place’ (2019) at Bus Projects, Melbourne. Photography by Christo Crocker.
“In To fall in the void as I fell, the movement tracks a continuous stream of the artist scrolling through open tabs on his phone. We rifle through things saved for later, burrowing into an artist’s present-to-hand working memory and prevailing obsessions - but at a pace that prevents close consideration. Everything is shown, but only glimpsed. Pitt’s relentless registration and replacement of each tab in To fall in the void as I fell is a kind of guarded self-performance, a disclosure followed by a caveat; revealing but withdrawing, a moving but confined perspective that recurs throughout the exhibition.”
From the essay ‘Crawlspace’ by Danni Zuvela for the catalogue of ‘Something that happened but never took place’.
