My
film stills relate to the photographic idea of fusion. The work deals
with two contradicting aspects. Photography can represent beauty, but
hopefully never sacrifying the essential moral truth of the image. The
work doesn't show a sharp picture full of details. The colours are bright
with covered contours. The unclearness transforms the unseen happenings
into another merged level of perception.
A global fusion of images and the way they are used can be seen in every
day life. It becomes more difficult to differentiate images because of
the cultural or local elements. The language of images is becoming a language
with global syntax. Images and symbols merge with the increasing fusion
of the western and eastern culture. The symbol of Christmas Father for
example became a symbol of joy in the eastern world, without any relation
to its roots in the western culture. The fusion of this new level of symbolism
with global syntax, has also to do with the loss of cultural roots. The
language of images grows together into a language with more global syntax
that establishes its' own meaning on the one hand, on the other hand the
global fusion has to do with loss of cultural values. |
