FILMS
STATEMENT

A diptych titled B&W: Not Black, Not White is a part of my ongoing
project FILMS (since 2004). It involves a process of drawing from
movies, films of all kinds, which I typically view as DVD's.

With each film the task is to reduce a time-based experience, a long
sequence of images, to a panel or two of incidents, translated into
lines/shapes. The shapes drawn are those notated by my eye-site on
a TV screen, and the moment of drawing them exists simultaneously
with the moment of looking at them. There is no thought of
expressionism. I do not attempt to recover the 'essence' of the film,
merely its presence in my domestic space. A configuration of drawn
shapes on panels' surfaces comes from the countless number of
gazes at the TV screen, translated and materialized, into the
substance which builds up the line.

B&W: Not Black, Not White diptych consists of 18 panels.
The panels were drawn while watching following films:
