I explore similar aspects of evoking unease in my own video installation titled Night-light and the supporting video work submitted for this degree. My previous creative experience has been in still photography in which I had become interested in exploring the capturing of time and movement and imparting an immersive temporal dimension or an extended moment in time in the still image. I see my exploration of the medium of video installation for the MA submission as an extension of such explorations in a new medium through which I further explore the concern with a temporal dynamic and its relationship to the emotion and experience of (personal) unease. 2014-01-13T12:18:02Z 2014-01-13T12:18:02Z 2014-01-13 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net10539/13435 en application/pdf application/pdf |

Thesis (M.A.)--University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Fine Arts, 2013 === In
this
research
I
explore
the
evocation
of
fear
and
unease
in
selected
video
installations
and
how
time
impacts
upon
such
evocation.
For
this
purpose
I
consider
the
works
of
selected
contemporary
artists
who
deal
directly
with
a
form
of
time-‐based
hyper-‐awareness
linked
to
the
experience
of
trauma,
fear
and
panic.
Amongst
others,
I
discuss
selected
video
artworks
by
Douglas
Gordon,
Ed
Atkins,
and
South
African
artists
William
Kentridge,
Kendell
Geers
and
Berni
Searle.
I
examine
how
such
artworks
engage
with
the
expansion
and
collapse
of
time
and
experiences
of
being
stuck
or
being
absorbed
in
a
significant
moment.
In
undertaking
this
research
I
closely
examine
the
mediums
of
film
and
video
as
well
as
contexts
and
the
installation
formats
in
which
they
are
presented.
I
explore
similar
aspects
of
evoking
unease
in
my
own
video
installation
titled
Night-light
and
the
supporting
video
work
submitted
for
this
degree.
My
previous
creative
experience
has
been
in
still
photography
in
which
I
had
become
interested
in
exploring
the
capturing
of
time
and
movement
and
imparting
an
immersive
temporal
dimension
or
an
extended
moment
in
time
in
the
still
image.
I
see
my
exploration
of
the
medium
of
video
installation
for
the
MA
submission
as
an
extension
of
such
explorations
in
a
new
medium
through
which
I
further
explore
the
concern
with
a
temporal
dynamic
and
its
relationship
to
the
emotion
and
experience
of
(personal)
unease. |
