JEANS BRAND LEVIS WAS JUST ABOUT TO LAUNCH THEIR NEW COLLECTION WITH THE MESSAGE “GO FORTH” AND WANTED TO MAKE A SHOW FOR BUYERS. THEY BROUGHT UP TOGETHER DANCERS, MODELS, MODELS, CHOREOGRAPHER, LIGHTING GUYS,MUSICIAN AND ME AS PAINTER TO CREATE “SOMETHING”.

FOR MY PART I THOUGHT TO EXPLORE ONE MORE TIME THE IDEA OF RECORDING TIME RATHER THEN OBJECT; I SAW MYSELF AS A SCANNER THAT FOLLOWS THE EVENT AS TIME GOES FORTH. THIS EVENING I WAS OBSERVING AND EXPRESSING THE SHOW BY FILLING UP THE PLEXIGLASS CANVAS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT; EVERY PARTICULAR MOMENT (DANCE, CAT WALK, SPEECH, MUSIC BAND ) RECEIVE IT’S OWN LANGUAGE OF PAINT, COLOR, DRILLS, WRITING ETC. BY THE END THE WORK RESEMBLE TO A DIARY – AN ABSTRACT DIARY OF THE EVENT.

AFTER THE SHOW WITH FRIENDS WE CUT THE UPPER PART OF THE PLEXIWALL AND TRANSPORTED IT BACK TO MY STUDIO. IT’S HEAVY LIKE HELL! THERE IS ACTUALLY 3 PIECES OF IT WHAT ALLOWS TO PLAY WITH CONFIGURATIONS : THE ORIGINAL ONE “ GO – FOR – TH” OR ANOTHER ONE ALSO RELATED TO THE NOTION OF TIME AND DIARY “FOR – GO – T” NOW I’M TRYING TO PUSH SOME CLIENTS TO GET THE WHOLE AS A ROOM SEMI-SEPARATION WITH LIGHTING. THIS WORK SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE VIEWED FROM BOTH SIDES IN A WAY OF A SCULPTURE – THAT’S I GUESS ANOTHER BEAUTY OF PLEXIGLASS.

OLGIERD / XYZ

DANCING ELEPHANTS PERFORM TWIN TOWERS

PAINT ON BOARD, EACH TOWER 66 X 297 CM OR HIGHER

CIRCUS IS A PLACE WHERE THE BOUNDARY OF SHOW IS PUSHED TO ITS EXTREME IN ORDER TO BRING EXCITEMENTS AND MEMORABLE EXPERIENCES. HOWEVER WHEN EVERY EVENT SURPASSES THE PREVIOUS ONE, THE AUDIENCE IS PROPOSED A FLOW OF INTENSE EMOTIONS THAT FADES AWAY WHEN THE NEW EVENT COMES. THE SPECTACLES NEED BY THEN TO BECOME BIGGER AND BIGGER. IT’S A SORT OF GUY DEBORD’S “SOCIETY OF SPECTACLE” WHERE THE SPECTATOR IS DEVOTED TO THE CONSUMPTION OF SPECTACLES AS ULTIMATE AND ONLY WAY OF LIVING.

ONE OF THE CIRCUS SHOWS IS DANCING ELEPHANTS. ATTRACTING THE ATTENTION BECAUSE OF THEIR HUGE BODIES, THEY PERFORM PERILOUS AND UNNATURAL HAND STANDING ON BALL OR IMITATE HUMAN DANCING. THEIR INDIVIDUALISM IS TAKEN AWAY – THEY BECOME SIMILAR TO INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS IN THE WAY OF ANDY WARHOL’S “CAMPBELL SOUPS”.

THERE IS FINALLY A THIRD AX FOR THIS WORK – THE TOWER. MAKING VAGUE REFERENCE TO KATARZYNA KOZYRA’S “ANIMAL TOWER”, BABYLON TOWER AND NEW YORK TWIN TOWERS, THE WORK IS REFLECTING A PLAY FROM THE OLD DAYS; BACK THEN KIDS WERE STACKING WOODEN BOXES TO MAKE THE TALLEST TOWER POSSIBLE. THE GAME ENDED UP WITH THE COLLAPSE OF THE TOWER THE GOAL AND “LA RAISON D’ETRE” FOR THIS CONSTRUCTION.

“DANCING ELEPHANTS PERFORM TWIN TOWERS” IS CONSTRUCTED ON THIS METAPHORS: GLOBAL SPECTACLE, DEGENERATION OF NATURAL ORDER, INSTABILITY WITH A SUPPOSED FINAL CRUSH IN AN AUTO-REFERENTIAL WORLD OF TWIN TOWERS. BEING A COMPOSITION OF 2 ELEMENTS – “BLUE BALL” AND “ DANCING ELEPHANT”, THE PAINTING IS LEAVING THE HEIGHT INDEFINITE WITH A POSSIBILITY TO EXTEND IT IN ACCORDANCE TO THE GROWING APPETITE OF THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL SPECTACLE.

ANYWAY TO MAKE IT CLEAR HE WAS NOT SPEAKING THERE, IT WILL COME PERHAPS ONE DAY. XYZ WAS INVITED BY ONE OF THE SPEAKERS DOCTOR WILLIAM MAK WITH WHOM HE WORKED ON THE MOBILE LABORATORY DESIGN FEW YEARS AGO – MORE – HTTP://DIMMSUMM.COM/LOG/?P=203.

LOADS OF PEOPLE, LOADS OF COFFEE, LOADS OF GOOD LECTURES THAT INSPIRE, ASK QUESTION AND PUSH TO GO FURTHER WITH YOUR OWN IDEAS. I GUESS THE BASIC PRINCIPLE TO START AN AMAZING LIFE’S TRIP IS TO JUST GO BEYOND YOUR EVERYDAY ROUTINE. SUSAN BIRD, MONIQUE STAUDER, JOHN HARDY, WILLIAM MAK, JOANNE OOI, MIKE HORN AND ROB STEWARD DID IT AND GAVE SOME GREAT LECTURES RANGING FROM GREEN TEACHING, COMMUNICATION TO MICROBIOLOGY AND PLANET EARTH PROTECTION. CHECK THEM!

FOR XYZ PART HE HAS INSTALLED A TINY BOOTH TO PRESENT THE “SOCIAL REALITY” CONCEPT – SPEAK ABOUT PAINTINGS AND STREET PERFORMANCES AS WELL AS SHARE SOME OF THE IDEAS FOR FUTURE.

IT WAS GOOD TO BE A PART OF IT.

BUT I GUESS WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN NEW EXHIBITIONS IT’S TO REVISE WHAT I’VE DONE AND FIND A NEW TOPICS FOR EXPLORATIONS.

Picture 1 of 13

———————————————————————————————————————-

“ME, MYSELF AND I”

SIZE : 162 X 84 CM

MEDIA : PHOTOGRAPHY, SYNTHETIC PAINT, LED LIGHTING      .

EVERY CITY HAS IT’S STRUCTURE MADE OF BUILDINGS, LINES AND TRANSPORTATION SURFACES. IT’S A PLAYGROUND THAT IS FILLED WITH LIFE PATTERNS. WHERE AM I IN ALL THIS GAME ? DO I LIVE ANY TRACE BEHIND ? I MAKE MY NAME XYZ BLINKING WITH LED LIGHT, TRYING TO COMPETE WITH BANKS AND JEWELRY SHOPS. I PUT MY NAME BETWEEN OTHERS BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE A PART OF THIS CITY.

———————————————————————————————————————-

“IN AND OUT”

SIZE : 122 X 122 CM

MEDIA : PHOTOGRAPHY, SYNTHETIC PAINT, LED LIGHTING

.

.

“PAINT WHAT YOU SEE AND NOT WHAT YOU KNOW” USED TO SAY MY PAINTING MASTER. ON THIS PICTURE I SAW BIG MOVING CUBES, MACHINES WHERE PEOPLE GOES INSIDE OR GET OUT. IT CREATES FLOW SIMILAR TO THE HEART BEATING. IN AND OUT, IN AND OUT AND HUMANS – MACHINES, HUMANS – MACHINES.

———————————————————————————————————————-

“FLOW”

SIZE : 170 X 90 CM

MEDIA : PHOTOGRAPHY, SYNTHETIC PAINT, SPRAY PAINT, COINS

WALKING IN THE MORNING TO WORK I BEGAN TO UNDERSTAND THE MOVEMENT OF THE CITY. THIS FORCE THAT FILL UP BUILDINGS, STREETS AND CORRIDORS. IN ONE MOMENT THERE IS A MULTITUDES OF FLOWS THAT PASS THROUGH : CARS, GOODS, INFORMATION, (NEWSPAPERS), MONEY, BLOOD… PEOPLE ARE THE REASON AS WELL AS THE MATTER OF THIS PERPETUAL FLOW.

———————————————————————————————————————-

” I (BE) LIVE MY LIFE”

SIZE : 170 X 90 CM

MEDIA : PHOTOGRAPHY, SYNTHETIC PAINT,  SPRAY PAINT, CONCRETE               .

WHEN YOU WATCH PEOPLE GOING TO WORK IN THE MORNING THEY ALL LOOK LIKE THEY ARE RUNNING TO MEET THEIR LOVER; SERIOUS AND CONFIDENT THAT THE LIFE THEY HAVE CHOSEN IS THE RIGHT ONE. PAINTING SUCH A SCENE IN CENTRAL ONE MORNING AT 9 AM I ASKED DO I BELIVE (IN) MY LIFE? IT IS A QUESTION TO MYSELF AND TO EVERYONE WALKING IN FRONT OF ME; ONE THAT PONDERS ON BELIEVING AND LIVING (IN) YOUR OWN LIFE.

———————————————————————————————————————-

“TIME”

SIZE : 136 X 84 CM.       MEDIA : PHOTOGRAPHY, SYNTHETIC PAINT, LED LIGHTING                                   .

I’M OBSESSED WITH TRACES, SOMETHING THAT IMPRINTS TIME. HERE I ASSIGN ONE COLOR PER MOVING OBJECT. WHEN TIME PASSES, CARS AND HUMANS ARE ALREADY FAR AWAY BUT THE TRACES OF IT PRESENCE REMAIN MELTING WITH HAPPENINGS THAT ARE COMING.

———————————————————————————————————————-

” BUSY ANGELS”

SIZE : 180 X 100 CM

 MEDIA : PHOTOGRAPHY, SYNTHETIC PAINT, SPRAY PAINT, EPOXY

FOR THIS SERIES OF 3 PAINTINGS I SHOT PHOTOS IN THEIR NEGATIVE FORM. THE SKY TURNS TO BLACK WHILE PEOPLE APPEAR WHITE, PURE AND NOT BEING HERE. WHEN “LIVING THE SPEED”, TO FOLLOW HEIDEGGER, HUMANS DISAPPEAR FROM THE PHYSICAL WORLD. I WANTED TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS ABSENCE USING THE METAPHOR OF ANGELS; A 21ST CENTURY EVERYDAY’S LIFE BECOME A DIVINE STORY. MY SIGNATURE ALSO DISAPPEAR SPREAD BETWEEN 3 DIFFERENT MOMENTS.

———————————————————————————————————————-

“SAVOUR KINDNESS”

SIZE : 136 X 84 CM

MEDIA: PHOTOGRAPHY, SYNTHETIC PAINT                                                                                                                      .

I FOUND THIS SENTENCE OF AN AMERICAN ARTIST JENNY HOLZER ON A BAG OF A LADY WAITING FOR HER SHOES. “SAVOUR KINDNESS BECAUSE CRUELTY IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE LATER”. THERE IS A CRUELTY IN THE CROWD FLOWING THROUGH THE TOWN. THERE IS NO ATTENTION REGARDING OTHERS – ONLY MY GOAL, MY MEETINGS, MY LIFE. BEING KIND IT’S THE CAPACITY TO SEE OTHERS NEED.

———————————————————————————————————————-

“I GO RIGHT”

SIZE : 140 X 90 CM

MEDIA : PHOTOGRAPHY, SYNTHETIC PAINT,  STENCIL

.

NOW A DAYS YOU DON’T NEED TO KEEP THE SAME PEOPLE AROUND YOU, YOU DON’T NEED TO KEEP YOUR JOB FOREVER, YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR POINT OF VIEW AS MUCH AS YOU WANT. LIFE IS FINALLY YOUR OWN CHOICE. FROM THE OTHER HAND BEING THE DECISION MAKER OF YOUR WORLD MAKES YOU UNCONFIDENT AND DOUBTFUL. SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO ? AM I GOING THE RIGHT WAY ?

———————————————————————————————————————-

“BALANCE IN CHAOS”

SIZE : 158 X 84 CM

MEDIA : PHOTOGRAPHY, SYNTHETIC PAINT, SPRAY PAINT, EPOXY

HERE I CAPTURE A MAN BALANCING ON HIS BICYCLE BEHIND A CAR ON HIS WAY TO WANCHAI. HONG KONG REQUIRES FLEXIBILITY AND YOU HAVE TO MASTER THE SKILL OF READINESS. A MOMENT HERE IS NEVER STILL, BUT RATHER ABOUT MAINTAINING A STATUS QUO.

———————————————————————————————————————-

“WATER AND FIRE”

SIZE : 162 X 84 CM

MEDIA: PHOTOGRAPHY, SYNTHETIC PAINT, SPRAY PAINT, EPOXY

THE CITY EXPANDS OVER FORESTS, MOUNTAINS AND EVEN WATER. IT IS REMINISCENT OF A FIRE THAT BURNS EVERY SURFACE. AGAIN THE BORDERS HAVE BEEN SHIFTED ONCE MORE IN THE VICTORIA HARBOR WITH WATER REPLACED BY YET MORE CONSTRUCTION.

———————————————————————————————————————-

“LOOKING BACK”

SIZE : 162 X 84 CM

MEDIA: PHOTOGRAPHY, SYNTHETIC PAINT, SPRAY PAINT, EPOXY

TWO ELDERLY MEN STAND BEHIND A BALUSTRADE LOOK OUT AT THE EVER EXPANDING CITY. NOTHING LEFT TO DO BUT LOOK AND BE LOOKED BACK UPON.

———————————————————————————————————————-

SEE YOU NEXT TIME THEN AND I KEEP YOU UPDATED !

WHO LIKES TO RECEIVE BILLS?

WELL, ME – REGARDING THIS PROJECT AT LEAST. I’D LIKE TO CREATE A GALLERY OF ‘RANDOM’ BILLS, WHICH PEOPLE WOULD SEND ME. I DON’T CARE IF IT’S FROM THE SUPERMARKET, THE PHONE, OR THE RENT RECEIPT – WELL, IT SHOULD ONLY CONTAIN DATA, WHICH YOU ARE FINE TO SHARE WITH ME & WWW. THE BILLS COULD BE SCANNED, TAKEN PHOTO OF AND/OR YOU CAN SEND ME BY POST OR EMAIL (EMAIL: BILL@DIMMSUMM.COM). I’M SORRY, BUT I WON’T PAY THEM AND SORRY SORRY THAT THERE ISN’T ANYTHING TO WIN EXCEPT MY APPRECIATION FOR YOUR BILL. AND YES, I DO KNOW THAT THIS IDEA ISN’T NEW, BUT I DON’T CARE.

SINCERLY,

YOUR BILL

THE REVERSE CONCLUSION IS THAT – EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE TO CALCULATE, THE PRODUCTS WIL BE OFTEN ‘LIMITED’ TO THE SET OF CALCULATIONS WHICH GETS IMPLEMENTED IN THE SOFTWARE. AND IF WE WRITE OUR OWN SOFTWARE WE AGAIN WORK IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHICH GOT DESIGNED IN CERTAIN WAYS. SO IN THE END THERE CAN’T BE ANY DOUBT THAT THE INTERFACES ALWAYS BECOME PART OF THE METHOD TO ACHIEVE A PRODUCT. THEY BECOME PART OF HOW WE SOLVE CERTAIN PROBLEMS AND HOW WE THINK OF SOLUTIONS.

BUT UNDERSTANDING SOFTWARE AS A TOOL, THESE TOOLS ARE COMPLEX, UNLIKE A HAMMER WHICH MIGHT BE SUITABLE FOR A FEW TAKS, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO USE THEM IN A MILLION DIFFERENT WAYS.  IN WAYS THE DESIGNER MIGHT NOT EVEN HAVE INTENDED OR THOUGHT ABOUT. WE CAN MAKE MUSIC WITH THE WINDOWSSYSTEM SOUNDS BY DRAGGING, COPYING FILES, PERFORMING ACTIONS WHICH WE NOT SUPPOSED TO PERFORM.

SO, WHAT’S THE POINT OF THIS LONG SPEECH? BACK AT MY COMPUTER SCIENCE STUDY, WE HAD ONE SEMESTER CLASS OF LEARNING PREMIERE. THE RESULTS WERE MOSTLY AS ODD AS THEY COULD BE. THE CRAPPY SHORTFILM IDEAS GOT TOPPED BY EVEN WORSE EXECUTION. BUT ONE FRIEND KIND OF SUPRISED EVERYBODY WITH HIS WORK, SIMPLY BECAUSE HE HAD USED THE STANDARDIZED EFFECTS AND TRANSITIONS IN A WAY NOBODY ELSE IN THAT CLASS HAD THOUGHT OF.

THE SET OF TRANSITIONS IN PREMIERE IS PRETTY BAD, BUT IN THE END – NOBODY TELLS YOU THAT YOU CAN ONLY USE THEM AS TRANSITIONS.

HOWEVER, 10 PREMIERE VERSIONS LATER I STILL WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THIS CLIP …

[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.]

CREATORS COMMENT:

This video was created in summer 2003 during a study project at TFH Berlin (University of Applied Sciences) in Germany. It was made with an older Premiere version and got compounded by around 200 small video snippets. Each snippet is an extract from videosequences that were filmed on famous places in Berlin Germany. The containing soundtrack “Solarized” is taken from Jeff Mills – Growth (Axis Records 1994 [AX-10]), which gives that abstract visual scenario its special touch.

I THOUGHT ONE DAY THAT THE CITY COULD BE SEEN AS A ZOO FOR HUMANS AND IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO TAKE A WILD ANIMAL AS THE OBSERVER – THAT IS HOW THE IDEA STARTED. I WAS LOOKING FOR A SPECIES THAT WOULD BE UNADAPTED TO LIVING IN THIS ZOO BUT ALSO AN ANIMAL THAT PEOPLE CAN NOT LOOK DOWN AT.

I DECIDED UPON THE GIRAFFE. THE LONG NECK OF THE GIRAFFE HIGHLIGHTS THE VIEWING PROCESS; THEY HAVE A GENTLE AND CURIOUS WAY OF WATCHING. THE GIRAFFE HAS ALSO SOME FORMAL/METAPHORICAL SIMILARITIES WITH THE CITY REMINDING ME OF SKYSCRAPERS, EXOTIC TOP MODELS AND A DESIRE OF GETTING HIGHER.

THE STORY CONTINUES AS AN EXPLORATION OF PATTERNS, LINE AND COLORSURFACE. THE GRAPHICAL AND GEOMETRICAL LANGUAGE OPPOSES TO THE MOVEMENT OF THE BRUSH AND ABSTRACT EXPRESIONISM. IT’S A STORY RELATING WILD NATURE WITH THE WILD CITY ORGANISM.

———————————————————————————————————————-

“ WOW THIS IS A CITY ! “

SIZE 180 X 100 CM

MEDIA SYNTHETIC PAINT, STENCIL

CURIOUSLY ON THIS PAINTING THE CITY LOOKS MORE ORGANIC THAN THE GIRAFFES. THE REASON IS THAT THEY ARE WATCHING WHILST THE CITY IS RUNNING.

———————————————————————————————————————-

“ I’VE SEEN YOU SO MANY TIMES – BUSY “

SIZE 84 X 162 CM

MEDIA SYNTHETIC PAINT, STENCIL

THE OTHER WAY OF OBSERVING THE CITY WOULD BE TO TRY TO FOLLOW IT’S MOTION. BLUR.

———————————————————————————————————————-

“DISTRICT OF NIGHT DESIRES”

SIZE 100 X 180 CM

MEDIA SYNTHETIC PAINT, STENCIL

BEHIND THE BUILDINGS ARE DESIRES. INITIALLY PERCEIVED AS BLUE AND COOL BECOME RED AND VIBRANT INTO THE NIGHT. RED LIGHT DISTRICT – WANCHAI. PERHAPS WANCHAI IS ALSO ONE OF THE MOST ANIMAL LIKE DISTRICTS.

———————————————————————————————————————-

“ HIDDEN EMOTIONS “

SIZE 90 X 130 CM

MEDIA SYNTHETIC PAINT, STENCIL

EMOTIONS IN THE CITY ARE HIDDEN. THE SURFACE IS CLEAN WHILST FROM BEHIND COME THE EMOTIONS, COLORS AND DIFFERENT TINTS OF THE SAME FEELINGS.

———————————————————————————————————————-

“ REFLECTION IN/ON BANK

OF CHINA “

SIZE 84 X 162 CM

MEDIA SYNTHETIC PAINT, STENCIL

SUPPOSEDLY THE BANK OF CHINA REFLECTS THE NATURE OF THE BAMBOO IN A GEOMETRICAL LANGUAGE. BUT IRONICALLY THE FINAL OUTPUT INSTEAD OF REFLECTING THE POWER OF NATURE REFLECTS FINANCIAL POWER.

———————————————————————————————————————-

“ RUNING IN THE CIRCLE “

SIZE 122 X 138 CM

MEDIA SYNTHETIC PAINT, STENCIL

A PART OF THE VIDEO THE CIRCLE IS A MAGICAL FORM EXPRESSING SOMETHING ENDLESS OR A REPETITION. WE MIGHT COMBINE BOTH ASPECTS AND SAY AN ENDLESS REPETITION.WHEN THE REPETITION IN THE NATURE FOLLOWS THE SUN, SEASONS ,(…) THE REPETITION IN THE CITY FOLLOWS HUMAN / ELECTRONIC NATURE.

———————————————————————————————————————-

“ VERTICAL SAVANNA “

SIZE 84 X 162 CM

MEDIA SYNTHETIC PAINT, STENCIL

DISPLAY VERTICAL / HORIZONTAL

IN TERMS OF PATTERN THE CITY MIGHT BE PAINTED IN THE SAME WAY AS THE NATURAL LANDSCAPE. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE HORIZONTAL IS BECOMING..PLEASE TURN YOUR HEAD 90 DEGREES TO SEE THE SAVANNA.

———————————————————————————————————————-

“ FROM THE MOUNTAINS

TO THE CITY “

SIZE 168 X 162 CM

MEDIA SYNTHETIC PAINT, STENCIL

DISPLAY VERTICAL / HORIZONTAL

THE PATH FROM THE MOUNTAINS TO THE CITY IS NOT A SMOOTH TRANSITION. THAT’S TWO WORLDS. HORIZONTAL IS REPLACED BY THE VERTICAL. SMOOTHNESS AND DELICACY BY ROUGHNESS AND HIGH CONTRAST.

———————————————————————————————————————-

“ FUSION “

SIZE 72 X 90 CM

MEDIA SYNTHETIC PAINT, STENCIL

CITIES ARE HAVING A GREAT POTENTIAL OF ABSORPTION. WHOEVER COMES IN, REMAINS.

———————————————————————————————————————-

OLGIERD

LIZA, THE CREATOR OF HIPHONGKONG.COM A LIFESTYLE/EVENT HK WEBPAGE ASK ME TO PAINT HER SKIRT IN ORDER TO PROMOTE ART AND HER BRAND DURING HK 10 ART FAIR.

DURING THE PREVIOUS PAINTING ON A TRANSPARENT PLEXIGLAS I HAD ALREADY THIS FEELING OF PAINTING DIRECTLY ON THE PEOPLES. I LIKED THIS IDEA – PAINTING DIRECTLY ON THE SOCIETY. WE WENT ON MONDAY WITH EDWIN LEE ON THE CAMERA, FOTOPSYCHO TAKING PHOTOS, LIZA POSING AND ME PAINTING AROUND CENTRAL DISTRICT IN HK. IS SOMETHING TO EXPLORE FURTHER BUT RUNNING AFTER YOUR CANVAS IS SOMETHING NEW, EVEN FOR ME.
