\n<\/strong>An Idea would make that sound\u00a0<\/em>brings together five artists exploring aural metaspaces within a gallery context. Each video makes use of a settled frame; the sound is recorded in real time or as a score that preceded or followed the images. This not only creates a narrative allowing the spectator to engage in the disappointing and unfulfilled imagining of what is off-screen, but to also question the physical intimacy created by a lower volume and by the proximity to each work, ultimately producing what Jacques Ranci\u00e8re has termed an interval of cinema.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>Isolation Tank is a single channel HD video projection and is entirely computer generated (the sound has been generated with an analog audio synthesizer). At first we see a surfboard from afar seemingly drifting in the middle of the ocean. The camera (unseen helicopter) slowly approaches the object until it fills a good portion of the screen. On the surface of the board can be seen a kind of decal. A closer look reveals an almost imperceptible morphing between a visage (perhaps a representation of the artist’s face?) and the image of a Mahakala (a protector of Dharma in Tibetan Buddhism representing the death of the ego). As the sound of the helicopter becomes audible, a rogue wave from nowhere jacks up and throws a wall of water over the surfboard pushing it under water.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/geidai-ga.warpjapan.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ss1.png\")

\u201cEntre Nous\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0(an echo of the self)
\n<\/strong>John Sanborn

\n<\/strong>Music by Dorian Wallace
\n<\/strong> We live in a time when we cannot trust ourselves. Ignoring what is natural reveals a desire to evaporate. Lives are wasted on folly, ideas are stillborn \u2013 our sense of self has been tortured, until what remains is a ghostly reflection.
\nRenewal comes from destruction as Eros emerges from Chaos. We must reduce until we reach the essence, and then (by force of will) find our soul.
\n\u201cEntre Nous\u201d is a descant devised to prove the singularity of our existence, taking care to not let nuances or small facts escape, even if they appear indistinct or insignificant. In order for the most banal event to become a voyage, it is necessary to retell the story.
\nLong before we had doubts, we had souls that could find peace without being judged. Now, we cannot move faster than our shadows.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/geidai-ga.warpjapan.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ss2.png\")
