Amygdala Response Stimulator
2021
Installation med 16mm-filmloop och ljuddusch
Framsprunget ur idén om att konstruera en empati-genererande
maskin, utforskar det här verket vår förmåga till mental och
kroppslig inlevelse i relation till oss själva och till den
filmiska bilden. Vi färdas i spänningen mellan oss och den andre,
mellan känslan av trygghet och en mörk rörelse.
'The opening of a door. Activated by the
inner voice of the reader. I want it to linger and take form in the
mind. Something to cling to.'
In which one sees the door ajar rather than
open. The gentility of the chemical photograph, leans into a sense
of violence: an image is replaced by another. There are many ways
to tell a story. Light is divided into patches of darkness. What
unfurls within the mind is not the object itself, but it is a
shadow, a specter, its luminous imprint: a vanished echo. A
narrative surface of immaterial matter.
