Back And Forth: Hanging There, Going Where
Visual Arts
Description
Description
According to Raúl Ruiz, cinema should serve to critique common sense and commonplace assumptions about storytelling, inside a movie theatre and outside of it. By deploying a method that leans towards description of individual image fragments and their surfaces, the artist becomes more than just a video-maker, but an image-sculptor. By focusing on the details of her/his image discourse, the artist proudly takes full possession of one’s work. At the same time, s/he seeks to leave the space for viewers to freely hang here with the work or grope around. By doing so, the responsibility of visual sense-making is shared between the artist and the beholder.
Following “Micro Narratives – Invented Time-Space” (video installation) and the single-channel “Concrete Videos” (curated by Linda Lai) in 2016, the series continues this year with 16 new young video artists. They will contribute to a liberating game of image-making, to also share the joy of videography as it should be.
