Interstitial Spaces by Zane Logan

Issue 142

This series is an exploration of the perception of landscape. I traverse spaces that exist in the in-between. The activity functions on a personal level in that I am seeking a reconnection with my surroundings through a physically intense interaction with the land. It is an attempt to reengage the land, to form knowledge, awareness, and a sense of belonging.

Through performance I explore transcendent potential within the landscape. These performances of slow walks through the landscape are documented through video. Viewing of  the documentation grants points of projection for the viewer. The videos both engage and undermine how humans tend to view land as a stage for transcendence and as a screen on which they project desires to master territory.

The picturesque becomes an access point through which I invite the viewer to consider the photographic image. I construct tableaus and still lifes that speak of exploration, a search for knowledge through consideration of space, and transcendence in the landscape experience. 

When considered together, a dialogue between the videos and photographs creates a third critical space; once viewed, the information from the two methods becomes inseparable . To reach a conclusion the accumulated experiences must be acknowledged.
