Little by little Suddenly

Research background: Current international developments in time based media have identified boredom generated through fixed camera and long duration takes as a means to engage with the essence of time and a state of psychological detachment. The work Little by little suddenly originally questioned how these devices could be used to create a distancing from any specific event while engaging with anxiety, trauma and loss through reflection, regulation and moderation.
Research Contribution: The curatorial framework of boredom shifts the contextual framework of the work. The emphasis on daily life, the passing of time and the links made between boredom and violence as a necessity in visualising art as expounded by Gillies Deleuze alters the readings of the work. In this context the work makes a new and original contribution to this discourse through repetition, framing and extended real time to create a detached engagement with a simple task to reflect on lived time, violence and the creative process of art making. The work is aligned with the internationally recognised works of Wojtek Doroszuk (PL), Dorota Kenderová/Jaro Varga (SK), Matthew MacKisack (UK), Jan Nálevka (CZ), Alice Nikitinová (UKR), Eugenio Percossi (IT), Zuzana ¿abková (SK)
