High Prices
Glen Le Lievre
In this work Glen Le Lievre plays with the familiar subject of something that is desirable - not to mention the essentials of life - being just out of reach. Here the animated GIF format shows that the object, for example, a high-priced house, as not just out of reach but also flying right out of frame. Le Lievre’s houses are migrating somewhere. And given the spiralling cost of home ownership, will they ever return?
