SERIES: RED CHAIRS, ONE PERSPECTIVE // 2023
Fine Art Print, 50cm x 70 cm
Red Chairs, One Perspective is a series of images selected through the lens of a single analogue camera, showing one perspective, among three. Each image shows a moment where one of the participatory subjects activated the photograph through a manual shutter release and unbeknownst to the remaining two participants who were simultaneously activating two other cameras placed elsewhere in the scene. Three subjects, three cameras, three perspectives, three moments in time. The work is a collaboration between Hermione Flynn and Joanna Krawczyk, showing their pursuit of non-hierarchical photography practices, where the subjects maintain autonomy over the position of their body within time, within the frame and within a relational context.
The performance is captured, and presented as a satirical interpretation of a “music-video”, lasting ~5 minutes and presented as a fixed video-installation with audio. To produce the video, the artist utilized green-screen and compositing technologies to place the performers against a cloudy blue sky. The edit mimics that of a classic music video, embracing fast-paced cuts, multiple camera angles, slo-motion, zooms and panning. The proposed installation is a replica of an early 2000’s living room - the “MTV era” - with a disorganized entertainment system, velour couch, grey carpet, a bag of neon orange chips and a bottle of flat Pepsi. Audience members sit on the couch and watch the “music video” with headphones, only to realize that there is no music, rather only the heavy breathing and foot stamping of the performers on screen.
