The passage of indeterminacy in the intensification of being is a video installation that reconfigures the viewing experience of Katy Perry’s ‘California Girls’ music video into a slow-motion odyssey of video portraiture. “By slowing down the footage to eight percent of its intended speed… the original cuts are dramatically lengthened into engrossing vignettes that demand a certain contemplation. Rather than being seamless cuts, this work becomes a fluid, abstract, composition, which blends, shifts and merges one scene into another… Searching for a glimpse of ‘sun kissed skin’ we are instead rewarded with a portrait of popular culture that is both seductive and grotesque in equal measure… The portrait here is always in flux, almost as fluid as pop culture itself, where one beautiful face fades seamlessly and endlessly into the next.” Anita Holtsclaw, 2011 (from the Portraits exhibition essay).
