The
Guardian national press review of
Introspection-Extramission, 03/05/08
The photo, film and performance artist Phillip Warnell is interested
in all those areas of human experience that used to be defined by
such apparently outmoded terms as soul, or spirit, or inspiration,
or charisma, or animal magnetism. The Austrian physician Franz Mesmer,
who coined the last phrase, is the focus of one of the works here,
as is The Girl With X-Ray Eyes, a Russian teenager who claims to be
able to peer through the skin of any human and directly perceive the
physical causes of the sufferings of her subjects. Warnell has ingested
a pill-sized camera to explore his own pulsing insides and exhibits
a series of rather beautiful calculus stones that have been removed
from hospital patients' internal organs by surgery. The classic and
bizarre warpings of consciousness undergone by victims of shock or
during the process of drowning are further subjects of his ongoing
project that encompasses both amazement and intrigue.

Phillip
Warnell is an inter-disciplinary artist
producing work that is balanced between perception, event and documentation.
Using the body as a sound or source image, it is distinguished by
its attention: to detail, to technique, to humour, to scrutiny, and
to the complex relationship between performance and the mediated image.
