32 day process-based installation
9 October–9 November, 2001

Farmer's current installation is a month-long work-in-progress involving frequent reconfigurations of its various components, actions and video works. Actions may or may not be publicized. Videos are screened on a monitor and include footage made within the gallery space during the installation.

Geoffrey Farmer's exhibition takes as its title the gallery and owner's name but with a bookended doubling: Catriona Jeffries Catriona. The doubling of the name Catriona Jeffries reflects an interest in identity. It is probably not accidental that Farmer's own name is sandwiched in an imperfect mirroring or inclusion of his own identity inside this doubling. The mirroring of names in the title is also reflected in the way the props and architectural elements are mirrored within the installation: the bannister leading to the gallery's lower floor is copied in styrofoam on the gallery's opposite wall, creating a haunting or ghostly duplication; a table on sawhorse legs is mirrored in foam core. Through the use of models and special effects other elements of the gallery are duplicated, erased or refigured.

In Catriona Jeffries Catriona, Farmer investigates his relationship to the lineage of installation, performance, and video work which emerged out of Vancouver during the 1970's.
