DETAILS
At Any Given Moment, Fall is one of five works in the series At Any Given Moment which explores the nature of perception and media representation. In an attempt to explore the nature of perception and media representation, this work focuses on the phenomenological approach of ‘stepping out’ in order to ‘see ourselves seeing.’ The repetitive rhythm, tight crop and large-scale image of the waterfall emphasize its particular organizational logic in time and space. Allowing us to view ourselves from the outside, as part of the representation, we learn about ourselves and challenge preconceptions of our surroundings, specifically of the nature of matter. The cross-rhythmic tensions between simple elements in the waterfall—each droplet falling at variable speed, variable light and variables of atmospheric conditions—create visual difference and reveal the patterns that one simple form, a particle of water, produces through relationships and complex organization.
