myvanwy gibson - I AM A STRANGE LOOP

I AM A STRANGE LOOP 2015

The artist has executed the installation “I am a strange loop ” composed of panels of transparent plexiglass suspended in mid-air, panels on which painting interventions have been realized. The work is conceived according to the principle of reversal and the mirror image, thus bringing into play the principles of its objectivity and the traditional interaction of the observer. The installation in fact, achieves a duplication between the sum of the actions carried out on the individual panels and their projection onto a wall away from their location. Through the movement of space, the observer is bound to a vision of the reverse side of the work being able to see the other side only in its projection which of course is characterized by the specific nature of technical means. The projection is a continuous stream that exceeds the ‘instantness’ of the photo or the completeness of video restoring the image continuously into the flow of life. The artist whose career has moved for many years within the relation existing between mechanical mediums and creative identity, has accomplished an experimental reflection on the dimension of spacetime in the image, thus expanding the rigid confines of it.
