Mindscreens

Mindscreens are subjective images that reproduce the uncertain, ambiguous process of remembering. Fragments of scenes are revealed or concealed as though they are emerging from, or being submerged into, the void of time and the oblivion of forgetting. Stories are suggested through an elusive network of imaginative associations that Mindscreens evoke.

Mindscreens recreate personal experiences through a series of framed viewing positions. These changing points of view reveal a variety of temporal and spatial relationships between the location of objects and the mind that observed them. Attempts to visually recollect these scenes transforms them from observed perceptions into personal projections called Mindscreens.

Formal artistic conventions used in narrative films have influenced the concept and vision of Mindscreens: set design, lighting, point of view, visual rhythm, camera movement, and editing. Mindscreens reflect the capacity of cinematic art to direct the viewers' attention towards particular aspects of a scene, causing those images to linger and resonate in a virtual theatre of the mind long after the viewing experience has passed.
