This week on
drawingcenter.org’s home page we are featuring
#KerenBenbenisty’s video, KAMIL, a documentation of a video being projected onto a drawing.
A single second of footage is broken down into 24 frames, each one of which is meticulously traced: the water constantly changing form across each frame. From these tracings, layered over each other into a single drawing in blue ink, translate, in a sense, the water into ink. Installed with the video, the water flows behind the ink, re-tracing the drawing.
Video still: Keren Benbenisty, KAMIL, Video-Drawing Installation, 2014, 1 minute 26 seconds.
