Timeline
Early in his career he worked primarily on video art and installations, later also working in performance art.
Born in Cardiff in 1970, Richards studied a BA in Fine Art at Howard Gardens, Cardiff, part of the University of Wales.
He moved to Northern Ireland to further his studies, completing an MPhil.
In the mid-1990s he began creating performance art works and photographic documentation of the performance art as a single entity.
The first of "performance lucida" series took place as part of House Style, a group event at The Bedroom Gallery (The Bedroom Gallery later went on to become BoBo's in London) in the east of Belfast.
His first solo exhibition took place at the Context Gallery, Derry, as part of Beyond Borders Plus and was entitled Corrective Perspective.
The work was in three parts, the first an installation featuring a pulley system and the gallery being divided into two, one brightly lit and the other in complete darkness.
The second part featured a performance that saw the artist hung upside down from the pulley system and swing toward the dividing wall.
The audience had been assembled in the darkened space to witness a live project, caused due to a pinhole in the wall, onto three large sheets of previously unexposed photographic paper.
The nature of the projection inverted the image of the artist, who appeared on the screen to be performing a series of gravity defying acts.
When the performance was complete, the artist was lowered from the pulley system.
He then came through to the darkened space and proceeded to process the now exposed photographic paper.
He put forward that the audience had witnessed the documentation of the action/event rather the action/event itself.
The third part of the work saw the photographic paper installed in the gallery with the residue from the event.
Richards developed a significant body of works exploring the representations of documentation of performance art as featured in publications.
He also created a series of "collective histories" of performance art works.
Stating that these works acted as a model for simple contradicts between knowledge and experience that are formative of our understanding.
