Taking its title from a poem written in morse code and light, this showcase offers meditations on how we present ourselves—where we come from, who we call family, how we communicate. Some works play with a visual language of omission and distortion while others lay bare their lineage and histories, both approaches ask for understanding and recognition. Using persona, art practice, and movement, these works reveal a poetry of visibility.
A visual eulogy that taps into the phenomena of makeshift memorials and small gestures of mourning.
Honoring the life of a loved one who died due to an accidental opioid overdose, the film materializes the process of overdue bereavement by invoking a fragmented presence at the periphery of the mind. The use of a scanner and 16mm film produces soft-focused images of broken glass and debris, the warped image of a man's face shifting in place, the balance between the beautiful and the grotesque. Still-life serves as an offering in the form of his favorite brand of cigarettes, flowers, and a bronze figurine of the film's namesake, Heron.
