Screen shot from Bridge<\/p><\/div>\n

I met a young artist at the Chautauqua Institution in August, Ali Georgescu, through her grandparents, who visit during the lecture season every summer. Having recently earned her degrees at Kenyon and Columbia College Chicago, and still looking for a path out into the world, Ali was working the front desk at one of the galleries. She\u2019s a \u201clens-based\u201d artist herself, but her work wasn\u2019t on view in the student show at the Fowler-Kellogg Art Center. Having toured that show and then later in the day viewing one of Georgescu\u2019s videos, I was more taken with her work than with anything I saw in the exhibit, except maybe an archival inkjet print, Truth or Consequences<\/em>, by Furen Dai.<\/p>\n

Georgescu is an observant young woman, laconic, skeptical, but personable and quietly intelligent. Her video, Bridge<\/a><\/em>, is a montage of short excerpts from archival video and film. With software she\u2019s constructed a dream sequence that reminded me a little of the deadly video in The Ring<\/em> except that with the VCR footage in The Ring<\/em> it\u2019s actually easier to deconstruct what you\u2019re looking at by the end of the movie. (I didn\u2019t get a dreaded phone call, with Bridge<\/em>, and haven\u2019t yet died after watching it several times.) I\u2019ve been charmed enough to keep going back and trying to make out what I\u2019m seeing and though I haven\u2019t made much headway, I\u2019ve enjoyed it more each time. It seems there are maybe a couple dozen excerpts fused into one surreal narrative: a road rolling under the camera, a knife-thrower using a child as a target, houseflies flickering into view, ocean waves, large fish swaying against one another, a close-up of a woman\u2019s eye\u2014all of it slightly out of focus and most of it washed out, as if the lens were pointed toward a setting sun. Behind the entire video is a tubular white noise, eerie and hollow, affectless. You look at this sequence of imagery as if through a strange, throbbing, square tunnel. In the end, everything is swallowed by that oncoming light. I wanted to see and recognize more of what she was showing me, have something come into focus at last, but nothing ever did, and yet as a result the seven-minute video\u2014for all it\u2019s remote and chilly imagery\u2014felt almost nostalgic and wistful, like the fragmented memories from a child of itinerant parents. It\u2019s haunting and assured and maybe an indication of even more interesting things to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
