Denis Glaser His work makes use of video projection - but with a difference: not only does his work produce moving images, but the projectors themselves are made to move. The observers do not simply watch the images - they are literally followed and surrounded by them.
Why do we 'play' with time? We make our own time ... then distort, overturn, and cheat it.
Denis Glaser has exhibited in England, Germany, and Venezuela. His work makes
use of video projection - but with a difference: not only does his work produce
moving images, but the projectors themselves are made to move. The observers
do not simply watch the images - they are literally followed and surrounded by
them.
In his new work, the observer walks inside a cylindrical screen and thus enters the
installation - projected around them are images and sounds of the sea. The piece
evokes a sense of disorientation and instability - the waves engulf the observer,
disrupting their sense of space, direction and time.
A separate room shows back-projected river scenes and a monitor shows portraits of
passers-by. Both are edited to change speed and sound.
Walking through images of sea and river, the exhibition prompts us to ask: where are
we, how long have we been here, are we moving, and which way?
