unique work, w/ 1ap for each photographic element

2009

This work presents a deconstructed cinematic narrative that recomposes basic features of cinema in ways that are partially adherent to cinematic structures. The work is defined by a set of photographic images that are presented in a sequential order to suggest the serialized frames of a motion picture. The work employs strobe lights in certain positions within the sequence that facilitate a sense of movement in the still images, yet they optically complicate the viewer's ability to observe the photographs.

The sequence creates a loosely defined narrative scheme that appears as a cinematic fragment. The sequence of photos use certain dramatic tools found in mainstream cinema to achieve a charged, and incomplete narrative. Several images exhibit a cubist formalism to advance the repetitious structure and deconstructive strategy at play in the work.
