The postcard is based on the transition between two shots: from one angle, a completely black television screen is visible; when the image is tilted, the view changes, and a reflection of a person’s silhouette and the room’s interior appears on the screen.
Stage 1 / Stage 2 / Back Side
In his treatise «Concerning the Spiritual in Art, ” Wassily Kandinsky describes black and white through the concept of silence. White is a silence filled with the potential for development, like a pause in music—it is the primal, universal quietude „before birth.“ Black, conversely, is „Nothing with possibilities, ” a hopeless „dead nothingness after the sun has faded.“
A blank screen is the literal embodiment of black silence. My work explores the coexistence of humanity and this dead quietude.
