The Darkness Nourishes It
Inspired by the work of Japanese author Haruki Murakami this series explores the physical and psychological aspects of the solitude of the male. The feeling of despondency and isolation from the society in which they live, is a major issue for the young male today. In the darkness something lurks. This darkness encapsulates the feelings of despair and isolation, of fears and obstacles. What is not seen is as significant as that which is. Fears regarding social and sexual inadequacies are played out in the dark. The eerie sense of foreboding is dominant and the filmic nature of suspense is played out through the still image. Shot using a digital video camera and then pulling single frames, this series thus becomes a true reference to the film still.
Three stories are depicted here; All God's children can dance, Norwegian Wood (from both the male and female perspective) and Blind willow, sleeping woman.
