Tacita Dean invites us to slow down in her trio of London exhibitions
Upstairs in the permanent collection and flanked by cases of Elizabethan miniatures and portraits of Shakespeare and John Donne is a tiny miracle of a film, not much bigger than a smartphone. The title, His Picture in Little, is taken from Hamlet and it portrays three actors who have played the role over three different generations: Ben Whishaw, Stephen Dillane and David Warner.
They don’t do much, just sit, loll and look, but their presence is immediate and intimate – especially when you discover that, although they can appear in the same frame, they were never physically together.
Using the same masking system that she used in her giant film for Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall in 2011, Dean shot different sections of the same 35mm frame in different countries and at different times. Coexisting in the celluloid, the trio are compellingly portrayed just being – or perhaps acting – themselves.
