Abstract

The reality I investigate is one that is mediated through screens and layers of technological interference. I describe something that is recognizable, but my primary concern is to understand how the abstractions inherent in the process determine the structure of an image. The indexical version of photographic reality is transformed as the painting uncovers unexpected narratives that exist within an image. Cinema is an illusion that we accept as an alternative reality. It is a device that can transform the spectator, shape our vision and identity, and is part of a shared culture. By pausing the narrative and isolating moments, I attempt to understand what we are seeing: straight lines do not exist, form wavers and blurs, but still, something is seen that we denote as being ”real.” Working with the pause button and a camera, I look for a precise instant that embodies an action, an emotion, and a psychological tension. Godard said that ”the cinema is truth at 24 frames per second.”1 I am interested in what happens when the temporality of cinema/reality is interrupted and explored with marks of paint. I photograph paused images of staged realities as they appear in a cinematic narrative on a monitor. I then make paintings of the resulting perceptual phenomena. I am not interested in the linear narrative that exists in the film, nor the linear perspective. I am concerned with the narrative that develops within the frame of the painting.

图像
我研究的现实是一个通过屏幕和层层技术干扰来调解的现实。我描述的是可识别的东西,但我主要关心的是理解过程中固有的抽象如何决定图像的结构。当绘画揭示了图像中存在的意想不到的叙事时,摄影现实的索引版本就发生了变化。电影是一种幻觉,我们接受它作为另一种现实。它是一种可以改变观众的装置,塑造我们的视野和身份,是共享文化的一部分。通过暂停叙述和孤立的时刻,我试图理解我们所看到的:直线不存在,形成波动和模糊,但仍然看到了我们称之为“真实”的东西。使用暂停按钮和相机,我寻找一个精确的瞬间,体现一个动作,一种情感,和心理紧张。戈达尔说:“电影是每秒24帧的真理。”“我感兴趣的是,当电影/现实的时间性被绘画的痕迹打断和探索时,会发生什么。我拍摄的是在屏幕上以电影叙事的方式呈现的暂停的现实画面。然后,我把由此产生的感知现象画下来。我对电影中存在的线性叙事和线性视角都不感兴趣。我关心的是在这幅画的框架内展开的叙事。电子邮件:juditheisler@gmail.com网站:https://www.juditheisler.com/
