Deriving
from work over two years, 2014-2015, with the scientific team of the
Centre de Recherche et de Restauration des Musées de France, Musee du Louvre, "Kairos" is a landscape of possibilities in deep migration.
The
video and photographs were filmed through the Centre's Hirox microscope
from elements related to an enigmatic Mesopotamian figure. They are an
avalanche of the possible, microcosm and immense in space, from the
center of what we don't know to the implications of imagination. Slowly
unraveling beyond descriptive, they reach to an almost undulating,
disequilibrating near atomic level, in deep color.
This Mesopotamian
figure, Ishtar, from the Louvre collection, is a major goddess, rubies
from Burma in her eyes and navel, with her palm outstretched in the
classic gesture of offering, an invitation into the work.
The sound is from NASA'S Deep Space Antennae, pointed far into the universe, the sound of starlight ...
The unraveling images are an excavation through borders, an essential comment on location of perspective.
