November and December are months when the muses tend to step to the front. Could it be that the retreating of light from the sky reacquaints me with the darkness necessary to see? Could it be the harvest is over and all that remains is reflection? Answers are late, for the landscape has been cleared in preparation for new construction.
The new work is a system of objects. It will be another four part series complimenting last year’s Similitudes project, which began as a reflection upon orders of space. I anticipate that the project will be completed before the end of winter.
These new videos play with uncanny feelings, whereby doubts are raised as to whether an animate being is really alive; or conversely, whether a lifeless object might not be in fact animate. They are a Freudian nod to the condition where instead of the human subject being in the world, it is now the object that is in the world, while the human subject has become an idle spectator.
