Photographer, Deborah Keller-Rihn is pleased to present an art installation made possible by an Individual Artist Grant from the City of San Antonio Department of Arts and Cultural Affairs. The photographer spent the past year walking and riding the bus around San Antonio, mostly downtown and in historic neighborhoods. The photographs were layered using different blending modes in Photoshop and made into a film and projected upon a wave pendulum sculpture creating yet another layer. The film is set to original music by composer, Jeremy Brosch and is edited by KD Dolan. The artist, through the layered photographs, seeks to convey a vision of a deeper reality than what is seen on the surface of things. The wave pendulum sculpture was created using orbs suspended on different lengths of string that move in a seemingly random way that through time transitions into a rhythmic serpentine pattern of movement. There is a mathematical relationship in the length of the strings that causes this phenomenon suggesting that in the physical world there are laws that govern what sometimes seems random and chaotic much like there is an order in what the camera has captured. The film will be set to original, ambient music further enhancing the transcendent atmosphere created by the art installation.
Everything is always changing, it’s true but there is something beneath the endless movement that is enduring and eternal-an energy, an all-pervading reality that is called different things in different cultures. That is what I was searching for-Glimpses of Eternity. Glimpses are moments of perception that confirm one’s belief that there is meaning and order in the universe. Glimpses are moments of beauty and meaning enhanced by the presence of lighting and composition, visual coincidence or unusual timing. These moments of meaning are often connected to important memories, beliefs and experiences and are essentially autobiographical.
The event is free and open to the public.
