Parva sed apta mihi (2012)

This work is an exploration of digital still camera motion clips I recorded while visiting the downtown art district of Los Angeles In retrospect one can say the end result is very different from the beginning as is so often the case Initially material shot with a digital still camera of a visit through the art district of downtown LA during art walk day was the starting point Once it was transferred into a computer editing system the realistic imagery of people places and things was transformed into explorations of shapes patterns colors text rhythms and sounds It was stretched squeezed turned upside down continuously repeated and otherwise distorted both in picture and soundwith playful intentions Some obscured somewhat recognizable images do remain a face eyes sunglasses a street corner a police car a woman singer and an outdoor concert another woman eating a piece of cherry pie at a restaurant
