(Unfinished moving painting)
(Finished moving painting)
This is films 'Unfinished moving painting' and 'Finished moving painting' I made last year. I have tried to talk about medium on this practice. I just made new concept of medium 'Moving painting' which is naturally film based on animation. And, just tried to break down boundaries of mediums.
For talking about mediums and boundaries continually, I have made this illustration(Picture above) for making series work to continue my practice. '8 Painting Series' is the name I call, and I call this illustration '8 Painting'. Actually, there are few tricks on the illustration and name of the illustration. Name of illustration '8 Painting' and a shape of canvas in illustration are core things to make tricks. I used symbol of the infinite as the shape of canvas in this illustration. Symbol of the infinite has very similar shape of number 8. So when people see this work series, they usually get confused. That confusion is what I want to use in this practice.
This is the earliest work I made in the series. I just printed few size of my illustrations on sticker paper. Then, sticked on small canvas. I think these two paintings is simply showing the trick of this series. I would like to call these two painting 'Two 8 Paintings'. The small canvas has just one illustration and another small canvas has eight paintings, both of them is possible to call 8 painting. This is because the small canvas has just one illustration has also the shape of 8. These different ways to call '8 painting' will make people get confused.
This is the second work '8 Moving Painting' of '8 Painting Series'. Illustrations '8 Painting' are just moving around on film. Title of this film '8 Moving Painting' easily make people think there are 8 illustrations of '8 Painting', but actually there are only 7 illustrations on film. I believe that this small trick could be a hint to understand what exactly '8 Painting' is.
This is the 3th work 'Bigger 8 Moving Painting'. Regardless of the trick, I have just challenged to possibility of film work. I think it could relate to possibility of infinite repetition on film. It is possible to be bigger and bigger unlimitedly. Therefore, people could get confused about the shape of on canvas.
It is kind of obvious, my new medium 'Moving painting' is just imaginary concept in film. And it is formally not 'Painting' even I think it is possibly one of them. I think i will keep playing with this series to think about medium and boundaries more.
