The aim of
this work is to call up different perspectives on "nature",
and have them interfere with each other. In particular: nature taken
as primal,
mythic, pre-industrial or pre-colonial; nature aestheticised, sentimentalised
and imitated; and nature scientised. A second theme is stillness:
the stillness of the human realm in abeyance; of the animal held
as object or specimen; and the paradoxical
stillness of the photograph (especially one which is obviously part
of a series).
Audio is based on various machine
voices (helicopter, telescope servo motor) and field recordings.
These, like the photographs, are the result of a continuous practice
of collection and processing. |
