Lately I have been continually running into disconnections. disconnections between thought and action, between words and the interpretation of those words, between what i see and what the camera captures, between the ideas i have for images i create and the viewers perception of those ideas and thoughts behind those images, between my dialogue toward the viewer and they’re dialogue with the image etc… I certainly don’t think that I’m unique in feeling this. I’m sure that anyone who engages in the act of communication has and will understand this feeling that the symbols they use in their language, will not be received and understood in the way that it is meant to be perceived. Error: semantics. Even in the most widely practiced form of communitation(verbal language based communitcation) there is so much lost in translation. Thus the task of communicating visually is an especially gruesome task and one that leaves much to be desired. Therefore my concentration lately has been mainly focused on the attempt to come to grips with my own language and personal interpretation of visual language and understand the differences between my understanding and the understanding and interpretation of others.These are two images that I created recently.
