Kinetic light sculpture with video projection, acrylic disc, and wire, 2023
Artist Statement
Fugitive States is an exhibition that explores a perceived state of entanglement between sentient beings and technology. Using primitive and hi end digital photographic methods, Wilson deconstructs the virtual to haul it back into the physical. In a punk DIY aesthetic, the works use a variety of approaches to intervene in the photographic act. In this context the camera, its technology, hardware and software are considered an extension of the body's intelligence.
Wilson considers the virtual in all its forms to break free from photography's tradition of 'capturing', 'documenting', and 'representing'. She has taken her entanglement with the virtual and the physical into photo paintings in which the act of playing with light through a camera is continued into the printed pinhole image, and reinterpreted through new mediums, in remembrance of the act of photography.
Similarly, the virtual is made physical by employing gravity as an essential element in the artefacts. Photo and kinetic sculptures juxtapose the lightness of light with the heaviness of the material of the print – canvas in these works. They are made subject to the forces of gravity and movement. Any ambient movement (audience or natural forces) will spin the sculptures revealing different viewpoints in synergy with the body. Likewise, wind from a video projector spins the lightweight film on which a pinhole photo has been printed. The light pushes through the spinning photo onto the walls – lights agile motion set in play by the hardware.
This body of work is experimental and fun with references to Robert Morris, Richard Tuttle, Iva Genzken and Lucio Fontana and while this is, in part, homage, the key break here is with photography and the conventional limits we place on form.
