‘In Hind Sight’ considers objects in 4-D space (3-D space with time) and tries to show them from a new visual perspective. Its starting point is a video of a 34 second movement performed by two artists in an empty space and filmed at 25fps. The video was decomposed into 850 individual stills, each was cut out of paper and the whole was then assembled. Because each photograph of a moment in time squashes the two 3-D objects (persons) into a 2-D image, a dimension is freed, allowing time to be represented sculpturally and thus giving an overall view of the people together with their movement from a perspective entirely outside of familiar experience. Additionally, by choosing to craft the object by hand, rather than machine, a further layer of time and process is added to the work (it was recently completed after more than three years of work), which is more personal and experiential in contrast to its formal conceptual framework.
Please note that the sculpture is framed, or rather suspended, inside a 140x12.8x18cm clear perspex plinth.
