Projection For Isolation


Although this series of projections tackles various aspects of fear, ‘fear of death’ and even possibly ‘fear of freedom’, it grapples extensively with notions of situationality - interrogating environmental influences on constructs of personal freedoms in relation to societal freedoms.

These video poems ponder how spatial presences sustain social constructs such as fear, isolation and freedom in the context of cultural posterity, questioning whether fear can be inter-generationally transmitted over and above being deposited on inanimate objects that symbolize our sense of freedom or lack thereof?

As an artist therefore, my work is tasked with first, the denunciation of personal confinements, and the erosion of inner freedoms being subtly programmed into our collective psyche.
Through tempering with visual representations of events, my work finds tenuous relationships between freedom and our innate disdain of prohibition of those socially constructed freedoms.

There also exists a fanatical preoccupation with elasticity of time in this series, which is no technique of disproving the immutability of time of course.
It is a process deconstructing ideational constellations built around irrefutable truths of existence, daring to harp on those unobserved complex ecologies of our observable reality without purporting to be ethnographical.
