A Point of Contact

2011 / 4ch video 6ch audio installation / loop

A point, is the only window that we have to connect to one entity. Lights, solids, liquids, air, money, codes, languages, body, systems, moral, feelings, relations, blood. This is an accumuration of fragmented being, knowing, interpreting, and communicating. This project consists of series of film and video. The installation is the full experience of the visual and audio musical harmony that they create. Each are lonely lines.

Language training
We communicate  in a lot of different ways.
There are ways with traditions that have been taught from parnts to thier children, master to student. And there are also language that we are not trained but it is the only way to communicate in certain situations.How well you communicate is not in the kind of language, but in the contents that you are trying to say. That is in yourself.
We talk to ourselves everytime we try to communicate.

How well do you comunicate with text?
How well do you communicate talking about “love”?
How well do you communicate with someone speaking different language but you can talk in your own language?
How well do you communicate with your eyes?
How well do you communicate with your hands?

How honest can you be?
Do you lose interest in the other person if you can’t communicate well?
