This edition for Studio Operative takes the piece Site Seeing (2014) as its point of departure. Shot in Times Square the video attempts to present a direct correlation between the represented space of the image and its position on screen. This is done by manually re-scaling and re-positioning every video frame following the outline of the scenery of Times Square. In the still selected for the edition, experimentation with the camera movement exhibits the mechanics of the digital SLR camera's capturing process. The warped image display the rolling shutter effect: unlike older film cameras that in effect take 25 pictures per second, the digital SLR camera continuously scans what is in front of it from top left to bottom right. When importing the footage into software the data is 'artificially' divided into 25 frames per second, meaning that a single video frame contains multiple points in time. |

Asta Meldal Lynge (b. 1988, Copenhagen) lives and works in London where she is currently part of the CSM Associate Studio programme. Based on the idea put forward by structuralist/materialist filmmakers of form as content and content as form her work attempts to un-think the concept of medium in favour of attitude to material. Taking the form of collage, installation and video her work is concerned with the construct of image production relative to its indigenous creation. The concept of images and their relationship with architecture and the built environment remains a recurring theme. Through this she experiments with gesture and movement (of the camera, evident in a mark or in the tear of paper) to seek out effects defining the leap from form and colour to image and meaning. Her work has been featured in various festivals and exhibitions internationally including PAMI - Peckham Artist Moving Image festival (GB), CPH:DOX Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival (DK), 55 Sydenham Rd Gallery (AUS), Luce Gallery (IT), Kunsthal Charlottenborg (DK) and FLAMIN Selected touring programme (GB). |
