from 'Circular Walks (a topography of repetition and chance)' - 2006|2007
CIRCULAR WALKS (and the notion of repetition) spans video|animation, drawing, photography and installation, to conceptually explore the notion of repetition and its potential as a model for progression.
The project, complex in its aim to combine a multitude of tangential themes in works spanning diverse media, aim to see the culmination of previously explored ideas relating to memory, status and position. It builds upon and encompasses works which explore mapping, methods for the [automatic] recording and plotting of experience and position in relation to space, as well as works seeking to consider how, if at all, the repetition of word or action can lead to progress of position.
THE WORK
Leading from Circular Walks (the drawings), current work is focused on the development of new ways to record - interpret and communicate - experience, as it takes place.
As asides, Small Wide Views (a series of animated still-image loops) and the public survey 100 Things NOT Worth Repeating has become two ongoing projects that divergently explores if, and how, the repetition of act or action can produce an awareness of memory and open up the potential for alternative interpretations, new meanings and experiences. The project somewhat pauses in the publication of the book 100 things not worth repeating: on repetition, LemonMelon, 2011
