Vernissage fredag 23 maj 2014 kl 17–22


 

Photography, the frozen image/medium, is often sought to understand the movement in my artistic approach, yet a tool that invites to counter the rhythm.

It is this paradox that I would also like to emphasise in my exhibition at Candyland, as an attempt to address this issue by appealing to the moving image following the tradition of road movies, specifically with photography.

I have tackled this as means to generate images and as a research subject using my caravan converted into a camera obscura, the “roulot'ographe”.

I use certain tactics to create or recreate the idea of temporality, movement, mapping, narration in the midst of multimedia work. I take photos with my digital camera inside my camera obscura, to which I also invite people.

From this work of shooting pinhole photographies, which are projected onto nonlinear surface tissues to produce a surreal-looking picture, I reproduce these images with my digital camera to turn it into a narrative sequence, just like a movie.
