Description:
The touch and strokes of the brush in a painting resemble the movement of the camera in a film for both pursue the object while deviating from its mere depiction and revealing also the relationship between the object and the viewer. The difference, on the other hand, is that the movement of brush in a painting is something that must be read in retrospect from the hardened and fixed traces of paint, whereas that of a film can be replayed numerously in the present once it has been recorded. In this work, the movement of camera approximates that of a brush. For instance, an object that has already fallen is filmed by a camera that is falling “lively.” By treating the camera as a physical being equivalent to the object being shot, the trace of the latter’s transformation is tracked and reenacted/imitated after the fact. Individual sensations such as a gruel held on by self-weight or delicate trembling appear attached and detached from the object.
