Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This striking black-and-white photograph depicts the visor of an astronaut's helmet, which serves as a reflective surface that captures the surrounding environment. The circular composition and the curved lines of the helmet create a sense of depth and movement, drawing the viewer into the ethereal, otherworldly scene. The muted tones and the high-contrast lighting lend an air of mystery and introspection to the piece. The artwork explores the relationship between the human and the cosmic, hinting at the vastness of space and the isolation experienced by astronauts during their missions. This thought-provoking work invites the viewer to contemplate the human experience in the context of the unknown. ...

B.1983

James N. Kienitz Wilkins is a Brooklyn-based filmmaker whose films disbalance their own construction, with the image, traditionally being the core of moving image work, occupying peripheral space. His films are characterised by a rush of language, like the competing series of monologues in This Action Lies (2018), the public hearing transcript in Public Hearing (2012) and the reflections on cinema narrated by a Morgan Freeman impersonator in the VR film The Dynamic Range (2018). Absurdist and self-aware, Kienitz Wilkins’s works are contextualised by his personal experience of the social relations in his native New England, as well as the means of labour in the contemporary, digital age. The films, shown in exhibition spaces, are experimental documents of uncomfortable truths, social codes and anxieties that provocatively leak outside the conventions of moving images. ...
