Proofs
USA 2015, 2:33 minThe work by Keaton Fox investigates the fragility of human perception in the digital age by questioning the interaction of visual representation and their preservation strategies. Cameras as well as mirrors are important devices used to compartmentalize our overwhelming reality – feeding our contracting attention spans to create a numbing sense of trust. We grow accustomed to this filtered perception and its rigid gaze, but the slightest offset in such an elusive system opens horizons that are drifting out of focus. Merely a shattered reality remains, occluding the actual intrusion vector and the extent of damage within the supervising structure.

The on-going screening series Phantom Horizons presents digital as well as analogue works that question the paradigm of linear perspective, seeking for a new kind of “status perspective” [Bedeutungsperspektive]. The latter was a development of medieval painting, in which the size of figures is determined by their hierarchical significance. Extending this approach with deconstructivistic ideas and contemporary possibilities of film creation, the presented works open up multifaceted, unseen horizons.
