SOURCE
Field notes for SOURCE.
Lakes, rivers, forests, insects, reflections, textures, changing light.
I have been spending time outside while developing the project, looking closely at things that are easy to overlook: the movement of a dragonfly above water, the reflection of a body on a riverbank, the structure of a leaf, light moving across a surface.
A dragonfly became one of the recurring elements in SOURCE. Fragile, agile and resilient, it moves between water and air, appearing as both organism and afterimage.
These encounters leave traces.
A shape seen outside can return later as a fragment of a face. A reflection becomes a surface. A botanical structure becomes an artificial material. A remembered movement becomes a digital image.
SOURCE moves between being an Earthling and living inside the world of technical images. Between direct experience and computation. Between what the body encounters and what the image systems make of it.
A few field notes alongside images from SOURCE.
The project is now online. First exhibition coming soon.
