Shore, Off Shore

‘Shore, off shore’ is thought of as a situation that involves the observer in an active manner by disrupting his usual viewing practice. As he enters the room, his itinerary is diverted by the low strips of light that mark the otherwise darkened space, picking out objects much like filmed panaroma. These same objects, partially reflected on the floor surface reveal distinct facets under privileged viewing angles. As the viewer traverses the light sources, parts of his flattened out body emerges from the darkness, appears on the wall and vanishes again. Fragments of images a temporarily united light being their mediator. The assumed fixity in the objects is challenged by an ever-changing relationship to them. Shore, off shore explores narrative tension through accumulation of sensations rather than in a literary manner. It is about finding a different ethic, testing our perception in a different way by creating an occurrence that seems comforting at first and by simultaneously perturbing the order of things.”
