This piece of dynamic suspension, challenges the static aesthetic of its medium: liquid photography. A print of simultaneous viewpoints, of both deep and volatile content, ephemeral and fixed outlines, solid and transparent interplay. Liquid alchemy of unraveled content, the piece registers light and movement with the cinematic light characteristic of photograms and photosensitive procedures, challenging its own revealing method and capacity.
The juxtaposition of materials on such photosensitive material, composes a synthesis of ordinary forms amidst the planes of floating shadows, becomic volumetric, that seem horizontal at first but also intersect in verticality. Forms are in self transformation, as they too are being manipulated. An ordinary setting, that becomes delineated as a flowing image, where transparency and mass form a sculptural and functional dialogue, thinking of the structure of things out together, changing through consumption: A slice of sourdough bread, ¼ stick of Butter, and a cute little knife, a tiny jar of Apricot & Almond marmalade, a glass with Still water, two clementines, one Soft Boiled egg, Salt and Pepper (just a twist of each), and one Double espresso.
