Untitled (presence 2005) relates closely to my films featuring dancers. I thought it was necessary to eliminate the camera here in order that the stage become a direct mediation. I was interested in constructing a stage that existed as an image. It was divided into focal points, and the lighting activated different fields. The viewers had to adjust their eyes as if they were looking through a pair of prisms, essentially a lens. Unlike a pinhole, lenses work well only when adjusted.
With so many vocabularies and cultural strata, I’m interested in requisitioning the initial registration of visual information. The perceived object is a hypothesis to be suggested and tested by sensory data, exactly because the eye and brain can be wrong. I’m drawn to how correctly we see things and how much experience affects these perceptions, how we continually have to learn to see.
