MESMER
Situated with Artaud’s ideas of the experiential and assault, Mesmer explores subjectivity and sublime experience to question accepted knowledge and perceptions of phenomena and “truth”. Juxtaposing a tension between highly mediated and animated visuals that work reflexively with intense affective elements is central to this work. The strategy of aesthetic assault is deployed with the intention of disrupting the temporal to create formal and metaphorical parallax.
