"90 minutes:
Shortcuts"
"Shortcut
One: 1 year ME"
Once a day I take a picture of myself. I do it each day.
It's my face in a close-up. It's a face a day, there's a face to each
day, each of my days captures one of my faces. Each day is a frame of
a face, a frame of my face.
A second of a film holds 24 frames, that is 24 of my days.
A full-length film lasts 90 minutes, which equals 5400 seconds. Each second
holds 24 days: the total comes up to 129 600 days within the full-length
film.
It's as simple as that: I will need 355 years to shoot a full-length film
where each of my days will be a single frame in the sequence.
An average life span of 70 years can be captured in a 17.7 minute duration
of a film. A year of my life, when taped, will last 15.2 seconds. It's 15.2
seconds of my faces: 15.2 seconds of ME, taking a picture a day, each
day throughout the year = 1 year ME
"Shortcut
Two: 1 year MOUNTAIN"
My studio
is located at the foot of the Vitosha mountain and anytime I look through
the window I cannot believe how different the mountain looks, how different
it is, in fact. It reminds me of Fujiama.
A year of my life captured through the views to the VITOSHA mountain.
A LIFE WITH A VIEW.
Each day I take a picture of the mountain. Same time, same place.
A second of a film holds 24 frames. A year of my life will last 15.2 seconds.
15.2 seconds of views to the VITOSHA MOUNTAIN; 1 year Vitosha
"Shortcut
Three: Stay with Me"
Each day
I voice my feelings, disguised as thoughts, and I record them. Day after
day I keep recording them in chronological order and cutting them off
by date. This is the soundtrack to my dates with the MOUNTAIN.
The
Exposition LIVE: /keywords - time, eternity, time-bound, moment, still life, duration/
The two looped films, "1 year MOUNTAIN" & "1 year ME"
are screened on two wide screens facing each other. Parallel to the screenings
runs the soundtrack. Two sequences of 365 pictures each, each picture
size 24/30 cm are exhibited to complement the exposition. Each picture
copies the images recorded on the film frames (both films). The full film
is presented in photos: there's a picture for each frame.
Each sequence
of 365 pictures requires 26.28 square meters of exhibit space. Two opposite
walls 3.60 meters high and 8.50~9.00 meters long will be enough to accommodate
the sequence
The
VIRTUAL Exposition:
Digital copies of both the films and the breakdown by film frames will
be made. The digital structure will allow searches by dates and seconds.
The searches will pull the visual and audio records together to recreate
my dates with the MOUNTAIN at any given point in time.
Where
the Two Expositions Come Together
A computer
station will be available throughout the duration of the LIVE Exposition
to provide access to the VIRTUAL one.
