Body Language (of Emmanuel Radnitzky)

58 of Emmanuel Radnitzky AKA Man Ray’s photographs of female nudes. While not intentional, the visual resonance with Marcel Duchamp’s ‘Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2′ is hardly surprising, in fact I’ve been meaning work around that for a while. Something along the lines of ‘Ascending Stairs’ and exploring simultaneous temporal and figurative fragmentation but want someting more inter-subjective.

Pieza Principal (from Las Meninas)

Reinterpreting Diego Velázquez’s ‘Las Maninas’ (‘The Maids of Honour’) by breaking the original composition into seven visual concepts. Then sourced, combined and averaged at least ten images per concept and in turn combined and averaged those. It relates to ‘Charisma’ which applies a different, perhaps more post-modernist, kind of abstraction process to the same original reference.  Here it is more about what emerges from the space of relationships while in ‘Charisma’ the focus is on the compliment of the typical Antropomorphism biased perception of implicit narrative relations.
