| Carola Bonfili's artistic research plays with the rules governing vision by calling into question our common way of perceiving the reality that surrounds us. In line with this approach, her Millenium Combo video shows a series of filmed details of an inflatable structure that is constantly changing in shape. The sequences are mounted in such a way as to emphasize the slow and at times sensual movements above all else. The variations and changes challenge the spectator in his inability to perceive clear shapes and distinct outlines, triggering unexpected and unwitting associations in his mind. Thus the spectator enters into the work's own lebensraum, being sucked in by a dynamic that stimulates the creation of imaginary individual worlds. So in effect, Millenium Combo seems to be intent on challenging the sense of sight as one of man's most crucial and objective senses in his perception of reality. The images that the artist offers go beyond any sense of the real object, in this instance an inflatable structure, abandoning all sense of space and time and turning into a sounding box for an interior world that lies beyond the bounds of immediate perception. |
