time, bruised, selves
Co-created with Deniz Ertan
Video + Sound Installation (2024)
[Installation Documentation Forthcoming]
Conceptual and artistic co-creators Battey/Ertan’s audiovisual installation explores emotional textures that lie within us. Continually transforming, ultra-detailed abstract imagery dances within a classical guitar sound world. The work is inspired by the perpetual procession of three intertwined states of being:
- time passing; a space filled with moving; musical memories; impermanence,
- crises; illness; metaphorical and literal blows and bruisings,
- the shattering of the ego's shell into shards; inner selves colliding, dancing; the fragmentation of the soul and the psyche: self becoming.
time, bruised, selves was premiered by Phoenix Cinema and Gallery in Leicester, UK.
Technical Details
Deniz and I developed the visual material with my custom OptiNelder plug-in filter for Apple’s Motion 5 video effects software, which visualises the activity of hundreds to thousands of mathematical algorithmic agents exploring an input image. We created the music through editing of classical-guitar improvisations by Deniz.
