Still Life
Medium: 4K Digital Video (9:16), framed.
Size: 75 x 112 cm.
Date: 2022
Still life as in it’s a still life; an artful arrangement of inanimate objects. Still life as in it's a scene of stillness and nothingness; the reflective gaze of passive screen time. Watching a TV screen is one of the few activities we do as humans that uses less calories than sleeping.
An update of the old masters, taking cues from how they set up their scenes, the choice of props and objects with their carefully chosen forms and materiality brought into the now. Cinematography becomes the paint, with carefully composed framing, lit with the cooling hues of the television screen.
