repetition and movement.

I want to see de-familiarized and dissociative movements.
A disassociation from image movement and image time, as if the screen were the site of experience.

Unlike the repetition of words, which seem to promote disorienting sensory relationship between mouth, and intended word.The image, when under repetition seems to remain the same, that is, the experience of it, looks similar at all points, but the memory of the experience, gets put itself into motion. A new form of meaning making emerges, when constrained into developing temporary tools, made from fog, which dissipate shortly after solidification.

Movement is a memory, and we are naively taught that it has a
beginning, middle and/or end. As if, before the movement occurred,
there was none.

Oh! what architexture of physics and muscles await at the taxidermied barrier of skin and perspective? Polyhedral movements abound, build the surfaces around us. A flickering corner requires temporary flickering tools, a flexibility for transition an expanded sense of self, what was experience without photons? As detailed and singular as a round river stone, photons have yet been discovered, for now we see only our own profundity of experiential possibility. Flesh and bones cannot build our ecology of experience, time is lost in static structures made from a future material, in the shape of triangles upon the retina, we are our, own screen, of, ultimate abundance.

  1. Interesting idea - but how would you implement this? What would it look like? Would you have a series of repeated images over and over? Or would you repeat the series at different intervals in a longer work?

    There's a Herzog film which begins with eight shots of eight planes landing on the same tarmac. Herzog said "I knew the person who stayed for the eighth plane landing would stay for the whole film." Unfortunately I've completely forgotten the film's name.
