Tengible
The theme of Tengible is creating a connection be-
tween the tangible and the intangible, and combines
the shadows of physical objects with the shadows of
the graphics. One may appear solid, the other simu-
lated. However, what is experienced is neither, but falls
somewhere in between these two worlds.
About the Work
Tengible is an installation work that draws on a combination of real and imaginary silhouettes from a collection of 10 short films; fantastical shadows of ivy grow from real bottles, the silhouette of a wine glass suddenly contorts in whimsical ways. Usually it is easy to discern the real from the illusory. But, as one views Tengible, the boundaries become blurred.
About the Exhibition
This work was created for the exhibition Tent London. Bottles and vases were placed behind the back projection screen upon which computer graphics were projected. This provided a canvas where real and imaginary shadows could be mixed. With Tengible, we focused on a universal work free of specific languages and cultures. The objects were carefully selected to fit the mood of the work; whether a flying balloon or crumbling bricks, none of the elements require explanation. Therefore the themes of Tengible - existence and recognition - can be clearly understood.
