Having watched hyper-space-traversing Thor and just read the time travelling Batman opus 'The Return of Bruce Wayne' (feature coming soon: one is left feeling nostalgic about Time Bandits; reveling in the Doctor's misadventures with the latest season; from Quantum Leaps to Quantum Art - time just doesn't seem the same.
And thus: Ghostjumps and Wormholes.
Chin Keeler and Emma Tornero's art presents the meta-
The Surreality. Some's preferred plain of existence.
Ghostjump translates literally from the German word geistessprung indicating a freeform mental jump from one idea to another. Wormholes are hypothetical shortcuts through space and time. Ghostjumps and Wormholes is a collection of images in which narratives have no linear structure and will transport you back and forth through time and space; leading to the improbable and the unlikely. KEELERTORNERO have cast their pantheon of favourite characters and creatures in an epic soap opera in which seemingly unconnected events can be traced back to a hidden framework. Drawing on all manner of influences from mythical creatures, existing characters and political figures, they attempt to salvage the sublime from the ridiculous. A fisherman from the island of Terschelling can rub shoulders with John Wayne who, trapped inside the body of a stag, is trying to escape his future by becoming the son of Mies van der Rohe.
