“Things and Nothings”
is a result of investigations into the image (still and moving). A thing is considered a thing because it
has yet to enter any form of categorization outside of being a thing; it has
yet to be classified. However, nothing is already classified among the sub (-stitute) (-altern) (-standard) it may be
considered as inferior, derogatory and or lowly within a certain hierarchy of
objects. In another breath the image as nothing
may be thought of as not-special, banal
or even mundane. In the world saturated with all sorts of images, we could experience
them in their material form as objects that are things or nothings. How
do the transitions from images to objects occur? What is the object of an image? How can we
tell things from nothings? Using a body of work produced
over the past two years, I present the image (in both still and moving form)
and the objects they become.
