STRUCTURE
OF MACHINE
Stemming from the experiments of Structural Filmmaking in the 1960s, a series of video & film works interrogate the structures of an image against the apparatus.
Working in seriality, mirroring, looping, and synchronizing, the moving image shifts back and forth like a pendulum between the image and its mechanisms. The destabilization of surface illusion inquires about the construction of images and the way in which it is deciphered by vision.
"Machine" examines expanded reflection that pervades the contemporary landscape. Characterized by repetition, ceaselessness, modularization, and dehumanization, Structures of Machine metaphorically reflects on the notion of mechanization of socio-economic topology and its consequences.
...interest in the multilateral tension between stillness and motion extends to the exploration of intervals. This exploration is related to questions of the interval of time between photograms that constitute filmstrips that became the basis of filmic motion...that engages in a spatial translation of the very question
