A dynamic sequence of eighteen colour photographs mounted to aluminium, *Automatic Drowning* captures a performative narrative unfolding across the wall and floor in Robin Rhode's signature style. The work traces a figure's interaction with a drawn or painted environment, blurring the boundaries between two-dimensional mark-making and live bodily action. Rhode's use of sequential imagery transforms the static photograph into a cinematic experience, evoking themes of struggle, surrender, and the precarious relationship between the body and its surroundings.
