Monika Bravo exhibition

She says in a description of her work that it is a seduction and illusion where introspection of the exchange in conditions where the mind goes from one reality to the next. Specifically the installment on natural phenomenon's, I get. Very strong sense of introspection. There are several parts to the loop of natural events that take place on two symetrical screens. Each image is altered in a way to simulate a painting and joined with that is an etherial soundtrack with no clear defining points. I feel this is the process of the human mind and phsycy. We have more going on than we realize and it's very hard to eatablish what it is exactly. We have two parallel sides of our brain often working against each other creating a natural phenomenon. Just like the exhibit it is impossible to focus on both at the same time but neither one can be ignored either. At times they are to similar subjects with similar pallets and terain but never line up in exact sync. I believe we all have an inner battle of what we want to do be and express that contrasts with what we define as responsibility. You can clearly see in individuals which "animal" they feed more. Though these images are easy to make out they still live in an etherial world where no borders end points or clear definitions exist.

A side note- in class Tom made the comment that he didn't think it was art because she manipulated other peoples material. So that means we've been misguided and need to inform everyone out there that anyone who is an "Editor" specifically in film, is not an artist *according to Tom...
