The three parts of the series"Juxtaposition" are simply visual works, video, photography and a short film.
"The juxtaposition is made up of photographs that I took last year for photographic work,
then I have times within a video effect by adding a" 3D "to do more than keep colors,
because I was very interested by the idea of a realization echoing ideas about Kandinsky's color,
which is here understood as an essence to represent their character.
In addition, I created a text conversation or poem that sends a message as a means of communication.
For "The opposition Juxtapositions", I chose about 16 people from more than 70 people have already taken the picture and refrigerator in everyday life. Like my items, they are inhabitants of France, Korean, U.S., China, etc..
The colors are all different, and all colors are original and are very beautiful. The idea in reference to the article by Kandinsky in Concerning the Spiritual in Art.
It was the first attempt to create a highlighting the beauty of extract.
Part 1. “Contemporary Refrigerator” « & Bar code » 2’15”
There is criticism about our lives today that is in "Bar Code". I think the barcode is a perfect fit for our logistics company even if we can all save our taste through the loyalty card with the barcode, and when I thought that I felt quite ill at comfortable with the idea of surveillance operated by the intermediary by someone I do not know anything and I will never meet.
In an attempt to recreate that feeling I staged an "outer space," which represents us as the dust, the first title was therefore "dust in the space, but with objects in a refrigerator
to show the feeling that you can have when everyone is in front of his refrigerator, I have entitled "Contemporary Refrigerator.
Under the system 3D Max, all modified objects are the same size hexahedron. Their size is compared in proportion to represent real life uniform. Objects have been extracted, there remains only the color and draws lines by UVW mapping from photographs. The sound is like the sound of phone calls, it is the lack of communication between one or the other, or the isolation of each in themselves. It is programmed in Max / msp.
Figures are bar codes of items that I found in their refrigerators.
As I was telling a friend, I start by saying hello, but I did not want to put up a real interaction, as this video shows a life of solitude. There has moments of interruption. This is part of the outside world, where lies the difficulty of communication. Then in the last moment I would say something as an encouragement to move towards a possible change, but at the same time is a voice of resignation that speaks the words « put it there, anything will do »
Part 2. Juxtaposition 1 « Refrigerator » 3’33”
Part 2. Juxtaposition 1 « Refrigerator » 3’33”
This is a result of the random order even if it is repeated under the same condition. An accumulation of color symbolizes the passage of time. The matrix form is also an unexpected result, over the last time, time is a construction of new images to express the essence of identity, and brilliant individual performances. This work allows the form of photography, colorful rectangular overlap in their refrigerators, but the colors are not the only ones we have.
I put the photos I took in the computer program, 3D MAX.
The movements came after, using UVW mapping, I have checked very strictly to the rule time and again repeats the same way which is composed of four stages as Planar, Cylindrical, Spherical, Shrink Wrap Parameter mapping I then gave them a movement under the system in the UVW Mapping Gizmo as I indicated earlier.
The refrigerator has become an excellent subject for me to express their personalities. The color and shape are shown in unique ways, all different models. By the extraction of color in the video work, I found a happy coincidence, the colors arranged a parallel.
Contemporary Refrigerator Part3
Juxtaposition 2 « Civil incognito » 2’30”
The rectangular buildings are projected onto the cement floor. On the ground, as in a mirror of water, the image of the buildings is reflected. Things will be anonymous persons. No voice, no accurate communication, buildings reflected the disappearance or blurring of the city we live. People live together, breathe the same time in one place but we're all isolated, and the anonymous people who live in cities are like an island incognito.
It was a poem Korean Cheong Hyun-jong, as below,
and this idea among many in correspondence with this juxtaposition presented in « civil incognito »
« There are islands among people I want to go on the islands»
The island where the poet speaks is an isolated place where people meet, or a place where you do not agree. Light skin tones and colors, originality are represented by digital code. After extracting the shape of objects, there remains only the color and line: this work is for this random sample. I did leave the nature of the state and also I would like to be a book of art by movement in a video.
