The video image is a standing wave pattern of
electrical energy, a vibrating system composed of
specific frequencies as one would expect to find in
any resonating object. As has been described many
times, the image we see on the surface of the
cathode ray tube is the trace of a single moving
focused point of light from a stream of electrons
hitting the screen from behind, causing its
phosphor coated surface to glow. In video, a still
image does not exist. The fabric of all video
images, moving or still, is the activated,
constantly sweeping electron beam - the steady
stream of electrical impulses coming from the
camera or video recorder.
Dan Lander, Sound by Artists, (Toronto: Art
Metropole, 1990)
'Still-life' revisits a popular genre of
traditional art practices, through the contemporary
medium of video. In doing so it draws attention to
the nature and materiality of the medium through
the device of camera shake, thus exaggerating this
idea of constant flux while breaking with
conventional expectations associated with film and
video by presenting a 'non- moving image' or
still-life.
