"Man With Mirror" Performance

Thursday, September 8, 2011

class 5 artists discussed (Sept 8, 2011)

Guy Sherwin’s Paper Landscape
1975/2006 - 9mins Colour Silent Super 8
The filmmaker interacts with film projected onto a transparent screen, playing with the illusion of time and space.

Performed at Les Voutes in 2006. Organized by Lightcone Paris.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6RZi_Nzyho

Paper Landscape plays with the illusory space within the screen by working directly with the material of the screen. A live performance is played off against a filmed record of a past event.

It starts with the projector illuminating a transparent polythene screen. Behind the screen stands the performer/filmmaker who applies white paint to the polythene. As a result the film image is revealed; it shows the same performer slowly tearing up a paper screen of the same size, to reveal a landscape.

David Hoffos Scenes from the House Dream

Hoffos has built this complex work largely around two basic kinds of illusions, both of which he has adapted from archaic forebears: the miniature model or diorama, often set into a mirror box to give a scene the appearance of vastness, and the ghost video effect, for which moving figures are projected into the models. The latter are images on videotapes that play on TV monitors placed on stands located in the spectator’s space, outside and in front of the glazed models. The moving figures are reflected into the models via small panes of glass.

Hoffos’s installations are very low-tech, and how they work is not concealed. The mechanics are out in the open and they are fairly easy to figure out. The point is that even though you can see how the illusion is made, it still has the power to captivate the spectator and draw her into Hoffos’s dream world. There, the house is a metaphor for the self, and movies and dreams are analogous.

Sea Oak - Emily Wardill

Emily Wardill's Sea Oak was developed from a series of interviews conducted with the The Rockridge Institute, a left-orientated think tank located in Berkeley, California. From 2001 until its closure in April 2008, the Institute researched contemporary political rhetoric with special emphasis on the employment of metaphor and framing.

The strict absence of images throughout the film is introduced by institute member Eric Haas. He describes how, in everyone's imagination, the word "bird" evokes a similar imagined creature. This prototypical bird exists only in common thought ("We don't think of an ostrich or a penguin…") and provides the idea of an image to begin a film consisting only of black leader and sound.

Untitled Seven - Benedict Drew & Emma Hart

Link to documentation

By inverting the technologies used to create and project images, Hart and Drew create anarchic systems which make the process of their creation explicit. The physical world is made manifest, through the complex web of projections and sound loops the duo creates: a length of 16mm leader "plays" the strings of an electric guitar, a large speaker which is amplifying the fan noise of a video projector sends a explosive cascade of dishwashing detergent into the air as a closed circuit video camera records the powder's movements, projecting them onto a screen.

Steve Lyons - Loch Ness
An evolving and ephemeral installation that explores aspects of image construction while exposing its pitfalls. By way of a three-dimensional translation of an archival photo of Loch Ness monster hunters, Lyons invests in the mimetic, performative, and pseudo-scientific recreation of the controversy. Using found materials and documentary footage, he shakes up our trust in the visual.

Diana Thater - Untitled (Butterfly Videowall #2)
