Rebecca Lennon draws on cinema, the media, sub-cultures and the everyday in her texts, videos, sound works and performances. The found, stolen and bought are re-organized and edited according to a skewed but strict logic; censored, exhausted and repeated like a malfunctioning echo. Hijacking the familiar and the alien, Lennon overlays contradictory ideas and perspectives, to create a montage ideology that empties itself out before the viewers' eyes, estranged propaganda that no longer makes sense and empty spectacles that are enacted and deflated at the same time.
