Untitled (Lakescape), 2010, video
Untitled (Treescape) and Untitled (Lakescape) are video loops constructed from still images. Long-exposure still photographs are reassembled non-linearly, transitioning into each other. Very slow and subtle changes play with the viewer’s perception by enhancing the illusion of stillness in the moving image and challenging the viewer to become still in order to sense the movement. Framing of a sequence is fixed as the element of light differs in each still and consequently becomes essential to breathing life into inanimate imagery: movement occurs as a function of changing spatial qualities of each layer rather than from their succession in time. Created video loops can be understood as fixed views (or projections) that are infinitely in flux. There is no marked beginning or ending, no visible credits or titles. The light itself circulates in Treescape: the very element that makes the image now stares back at us. In Lakescape, waves already annihilated with long exposures rise up and fall down on the horizon never reaching the shore, forever stuck “in between”. The wonder of moving stillness touches the quitness we find within ourselves.
