Anne Marthe Dyvi: This is not / Dette er ikke
Published
Anne Marthe Dyvi at BEK has specially made an exposition for the very first issue of VIS – Nordic Journal for Artistic Research. This is not / Dette er ikke is a revisit of several of Dyvi’s video works, and she re-examines how they establish a visual and non-verbal language through the use of colour, movement, form and time. The works by Dyvi draw on a rich tradition of experimental film and video, but these references are expressed implicitly in the images themselves rather than as citations in the text.
“This is not / Dette er ikke by Anne Marthe Dyvi is a revisit of several of her video works, and she re-examines how they establish a visual and non-verbal language through the use of colour, movement, form and time. In artistic research there are common expectations towards explicit reflection, and there is a strong tendency for “explicit” to imply and equal “verbal”. In this exposition the moving and drifting images remain the essence, while texts serve as open-ended and poetic support that further emphasise the implicit sensuous knowledge of the images. The works by Anne Marthe Dyvi draw on a rich tradition of experimental film and video, but these references are expressed implicitly in the images themselves rather than as citations in the text. There is a saying that “if you want to say something about the medium, do it with the medium”. In this exposition Anne Marthe Dyvi trust us to be able to read artistic research communicated through images, not just text.”
