Media:
IMovie; Garageband; Photoshop; original music scored for flute, harp, and violin; one photograph; two narrators.
Self Portrait: Travel Series is composed of one photograph presented 360 times, each iteration rotated one degree clockwise (in Photoshop) before being brought into Imovie. The original photograph, taken by Robert Kirkbride, is rectangular; in Imovie, I cropped the image to avoid the borders, which created little jumps in the circular motion. The image is of me asleep in the Milan airport at 4am. The perspective of the photograph is foreshortened, recalling a work by the Renaissance painter Andrea Mantegna. Like the aural repetition of a certain word that begins to lose its meaning and becomes pure sound, the repetition of the image alters our perception of it.
The narration, following the tone of Proust聮s Questionnaire, is a series of questions without answers. The questions represent what creates an individual: a lifetime of discoveries and decisions. This is a self-portrait of anyone. The music, which was reworked in Garageband from an excerpt of a longer work about clocks as mechanical devices, is scored for flute, harp, and violin.
