Various videos, Duration and sound variable, 2012-2014

This body of work was conceived during my MFA between 2012-2014 and consists of over ten individual video pieces –only a few of the videos are included in the above gallery. These videos stand as a transitional framework for my studio practice in which experiments with body movements and pockets of performative interventions in different milieux are transformed into meditative moving images, or in other words, moving bodies inside images. In these experimental video works, the presence of the photographic/filmic apparatus is as tangible as the continual unfoldings of the body movements. Yet this present is one that is contingent upon passing of time, movement of objects, bodies or enduring a gesture. One does not know the lifespan of these pockets of experimental movements and interventions. They may have been performed before their exposure to the camera, and they bear the promise that they may be continued in or outside of the frame. These pieces have been exhibited separately in different venues.  Most of them can be experienced and shown in a loop.
