In ‘ZONE’, James Tunks plays at the peripheries of new and old knowledge. An anonymous text sets its protagonist in a kind of fever dream. Alone, abroad, and in possession of a secret camera prototype of unimaginable image-making power, he considers the implications and sheer scope of the device’s advancements. Using flashes of colour as a foil for meticulously detailed black and white, the subjects and their underlying symbolism whisper to both the past and present of the technological, explorative, concealed, and classified. Image-making teeters between the ability to capture microscopic detail and the capability to cause disruption on a mass scale.
