The journey that takes us to the exhibited artwork is often unseen by the audience, it is an area that I am becoming increasingly interested in, especially after a conversation with a friend about this blog. She told me that she didn’t need to see the other part of the show, in fact, she thought it would have been more interesting if there was no other part. She was more intrigued in the theoretical thought process of a work than a physical one.
The missing sections of the text on the video stand for something missing, something that was once there, something that has happened.
Watching people fill in the gaps with their own images [a formal and thematic mental act] and their own reading of the work sees the video as a catalyst for human communication, and further conversations.
