Feedback on Pendulum: could have extended the build up. He thought the polarisation artefacts were lights.

Showed my "What does it take to make a contemplative practice?" essay. Simon inclined to not steer me to Post-Media / International Art Speak territory. OBSERVATIONS
My work deals with time.

SUGGESTIONS

• Explore micro-specificity of time. Time spent on a photograph is not just one thing. Map out usage of time when making a photograph (every aspect). Taxonomy of time.

Recommended reading/watching:—

• Berger on Drawing -John Berger.
• Theory of Colours - Goethe
• The Craftsman - Richard Sennett
• The Red Shoes - Powell & Pressburger "The Archers"
• Muybridge (other work)

MISC. TOPICS

• Stereoscopic photographs 19th century. Max. depth of field.

Onorato Krebs image. He sees it as gimmickry. cheap. https://tonk.ch/adding-adding-adding/

Need to take the object outside of it’s context. the optical things out of the lab. What does it mean when you use a lenticular sheet in the forest, on my face. if you’re talking about exposing things that are hidden, shift the context to be about politics, sex, gender, etc.

He was drawn to my Instagram photo of #neglected. (Rotterdam basketball court outside Nan Wang’s studio).

If I’m interested in exposing hidden systems. what hidden systems am i interested in exploring?

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Nina Katchadourian - long haul flight works. Seat head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xls3E48SEs&feature=youtu.be Georgio Morandi https://www.google.com/search?q=morandi&safe=off&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjJopKl5ovhAhVEEVAKHbXKCYwQ_AUIDigB&biw=1440&bih=794

My issue. I am neither drawn to, connect with or inspired by the above two artists. Not sure if it's simply a matter of taste here. Time needed to process.
