Trânsito, 2015 - 2018, Oslo, Norway, analogue photography. The artwork delves into the "reality as stratification of surfaces" through Perniola's concept of transit.* From this work, limited edition prints, public art installations, and material applications such as wall coverings, mosaics, metal, acrylic and custom panels, facades, projections, textile and garments, and product applications with Kinetic Facades, Artaic Custom Mosaic Tiles, Equitone Fiber Cement Facade, Acrylic or Textile Panels, Metal with substrate installation systems, and Projections follow the images. *Research paper follows the presentation. https://mariamman.net/transito/
An iridescent color palette reminiscent of oil and visual surface of water joins in the imaginary realm as a means to consider the implausible, as possible, to create new intelligence defying previous assumed knowledge or reason. Trânsito reflects the heavens in the gentle surface ripples, looking at phenomenological discourses in painting and photography through the ethics of resource usage in technocratic times. The granularity of the analogue, chemical process in photography translated into digitally scalable pixels are emphasized to draw attention to the passage of movement in stillness, paradoxically making viewers feel as if they are moving while standing still. Developed alongside Teknovisuell Experience on the degradation of technology through repetition to find how the perceived problem presents the solution based on distances in viewing. The physiology and psychology of the body viewing, and mechanical apparatus of photography are thus focused on sensorial memories of beauty, love, reason, and enlightenment. Trânsito is part of Virtual Material body of work, exploiting photography while engaging in phenomenological subjects with water, stones, forests, technology, vision, body, perception, ethics. The Virtual Material body of work includes: Trânsito, Teknovisuell Experience, Sonidos, Fleuressence, Relatively Dimensional Still-Life, 1919 in 2017, videos, installations, as prints, projections, wall coverings, acrylic prints, garments.
