Eddie Clemens’s choice of title for this exhibition, a phrase taken from the science-fiction movie Terminator II (1991), reveals his interest in how physical surroundings affect human behavior. The paranoiac confusion of reality and fiction, a pervasive storyline in that film, is also an ongoing theme in his sculpture. In his recent work these concerns rest alongside his long-held interest in the vagaries of consumerism. Now focusing on the entertainment industry, his art draws attention to the ways in which architectural structures, consumption and commodified forms of entertainment conspire to hold us emotionally captive.
