‘The term telegenic pertains to a charismatic
moving image portrayal of a person.
Could a person be enigmatic on film but
perhaps not elsewhere? Darren Sylvester’s
2 Telegenic 2 Die opens up a considered
discussion of this very 21st century
conundrum, asking if the power of the image
can incite the everyday object to stray far
from reality. The show asks how closely
cinematic memories are immersed within
our own, and why performative culture elicits
such enduring wonder and curiosity. ‘
