Anywhere Reloaded : post 5

After having working on development of the installation with light texture (I will post some pictures soon), I’ve been back to photo and video work on nonplaces. First, I needed more material for my paintings and especially with a better connection between the images. Not only non-places but spaces that could be emptying of their utilitarian content and bring the image to a certain abstration level.

Afterwards, I’ve done video and photo experiments on this emptying of the urban space by superimposing time frame layers. By exemple, I’ve rendered 500 frames of video captures that I’ve superimposed with transparency. The result is a motionless glimpse of what happen with superimposed video layers. The quality of the video image is increased by this effect and all reflections, colors are stronger.

They developed this project in Bali during the last 4 months and it has been showed at the SIKA Gallery (Bali).
