Seeing What Is Seen, As What Sees Can Not Be Saw

close

When living in a world with speech and also writing we know communication is paramount. Although, communication can often fall short. And within the words we use we can often read in between the lines of words themselves. It is as if some other kind of emotive charge were actually present that was not initially being articulated.

Seeing What Is Seen, As What Sees Can Not Be Saw is a part movie segment, part stop motion, abstract documentary film which utilises how humans interact with the inanimate world to offer representation as depicted evidence of renewed forms of communication existing between humans and the surfaces and material they find themselves in the vicinity of.

Such an opportunity for depicting the twinned silence between the contours of a surface and the fragmentary form of an existing or at times, non existing silhouette is a very rare but at the same time almost ever present occurrence.

Suggested through the quick cut images and their overlaid but sequential corpus is a kind of containment of the minds geographical spectrum paired down into an almost archaeological infliction for how contact with materialism necessitates itself as a basic need for well being, just as the words that exchange and exist between us do as well.
