PAM: Dream

[ 01:27 ]
Dreamscape , a floating existence , unable to keep a steady hold on reality . Shapeless dreams melt into an eerie , fluid , illusive world. .... mermaids calling... time drips ... trying to focus... to keep awake... When words fail to express a feeling, mood, or concept .... other methods of communication threw artist means is my answer. in a constant curiosity of the exploration of the self as a translator of personal perception . allowing impluses to guide the artistic process.

Artist: Stella Rey.

Untitled (adidas). 2009
Through invented, artificial, but extremely realistic-looking movements, and by changing the perception of time, I try to uncover hidden patterns and states of mind unconditioned by the “possible”.

PAM: Broken Windows
Broken Windows consists of the last footage shot with a digital camcorder - these are the dying gasps of the camera. On one level, the piece might serve as a de-mystification of the digital image itself; the degradation of the image broadly implies the processes by which the real world is interpreted as video. Video’s constitution of the world as image is laid bare, and it is disconcerting to see the torturous decay of the image as the camera fights to maintain its simulation of the world. On another level, however, the piece implies the impossible mystery of most technology for most viewers. The functioning of the camera, evident in the image only when it fails as here, is something which most of us can’t - or don’t want to - understand. We comprehend technology so little, that we must engage with it on a purely aesthetic level as a source of magic or wonder, as we do here.

PAM: The Soft Epic, or: Savages of the Pacific West
The Soft Epic or; Savages of the Pacific West takes the form of a moving panorama to imagine the end of History. Comprised of over a hundred layers of composited images spread across multiple projections and an original surround-sound score by Bird Show (Ben Vida), the work draws upon images and effects from historical panoramas, epic sci-fi and disaster films, and the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch in a fractured, dystopic cityscape dotted with eternal flames and chimeras. These images—layered, collaged and seamlessly looped—picture the forces exerted upon collective memory in moments of cultural anxiety and the fluid relationship between Cinema and History. Hollywood splendor usurps mythological and historical narrative in service of political authority and social order.

Artists: Nadia Hironaka & Matthew Suib.

PAM: Test Anthem
198 national anthems from the world’s countries arranged in a vertical, symmetrical stack. Played for the duration with bell curve as defined parameter with demarcation line representing point of departure to the - unattainable? The longest – Uraguay’s begins and ends the audio with a nice, loping intro. The shortest anthem from Qatar comes in a mere 36 seconds and is sandwiched directly in the middle with most others as most anthems come in at a minute or less. I was curious to see if at the apex, beyond the expected dissonant sounds on the sides of the curve, there might be almost a pure, white nose. Static. It comes close though. Based on government tests (atomic blasts, plane military test crashes) we are taken through a test – this time with themes closer to the human condition: want, desire, and spiritual transcendence if you will. The parameters are already set though. Could be construed as ultimately fatalistic and pessimistic. That’s possible. A faux set-up complete with anticipating flashes as in the batter’s home run hit or porn’s standard ‘money shot’.

PAM: Exercises in Faith - Soil
Tierra/soil is part of a video series in which I do actions for the camera, exploring the subject of violence and vulnerability. Closeness to the earth implies being close to life and death, to the visceral. The landscape is source of ideas of identity, dreams of belonging, but also nightmares when confronted with the side of it that partakes in the real; when one gets too close, blurring the boundaries that keep one safe. Land has been a recurrent source of conflict and death, An image evoked with this video is that of mass graves, despite of the clean setting and white background. In the video, I take the soil trying to engage in minimal movement or expression. The openness of the mouth, however, gives a sense of willingness to receive the dirt. It is a situation that is not resolved, as the soil keeps falling and accumulating. The soil comes from above, as a kind of fate.
