The Festivals between France,Paris and Berlin have been a great time to revisit conceptual themes in contemporary techno issues & the image.
Journal Entry
It’s been a while since writing on this blog page. This isn’t easy to keep up with writing. I’ve been busy preparing for the Spelman show. Also, trying to keep up with the collective in Paris. Submitted work for the show there.
Conceptual Photos
The photo pieces and experimental films have me thinking of systems of logic and how forms of logic and systems of thought predispose us to particular forms of perception. It is forms of logic and patterns of thinking within this logical system of thought that create the perception of the film plane as a flat space which runs in linear time as opposed to a space with parallel vision. Also, the creation of montage and timed sequences within the filmic frame.
Since the Spelman show, I’ve thought of this in relation to issues of race and gender as well. In 4 black and white photos, the concept or notion of color only exists in relation to it’s polar opposite. There can be no black unless there is white and so on within the color scale. Each color exists in relation to it’s other. In this symbolic construction of language and perception, each color frame defines the next scale of perception.
Day 1 Journal Entry
After working as an artist in the area of experimental film and conceptual photography, I am beginning to review notions of conventional language and it’s relationship to images, in other words the construction of language and it’s influence on pereception. I began work as an artist in the area of film/experimental or art film. Ok, I”m actually a poet at heart and my earlier filmworks involve poetic text on films.
I became interested in working with the actual material of the film itself, altering the surface after a filmart class with M. Rudnick (computer editor:Flowers & Leaves). My travels to Paris, France in 2001 also gave me an opportunity to view many other artists working in this medium.
In a series of photographs I completed, I took a photographic image of the wall and hung it on the wall itself: Hence the title: ” A Photograph Of the Wall You’re Looking At”.
I was interested in how the photographic and filmic image stands to record a historic moment in time. After presenting at the World Phenomenology Conference, Harvard, 2004… I was inspired to continue to look at the discussion of time in relation to the photographic and filmic image.
According to Alon Segev, “Phenomenological Return To Religion- Heidegger and Benjamin”- “Hence it follows also that we can no longer avail ourselves of the concept of time as an endless “now-chain”….the fact that the phenomenon shows itself, that it occurs implies a peculiarly temporal event. …not the specific past of this or that object, but rather as a means to sever the now-chain so that the phenomenon can show itself. “- Phenomenological Inquiry, Volume 29, Oct. 2005.
I plan to continue to exhibit following this path of conceptual language.
