High Resolution Step II (on) Strike
Location: mor charpentier // 8, Rue Saint-Claude 75003
End Date: May 23, 2015
Confusing at times, obscure and obscured, Mohamed Namou’s latest exhibition, High Resolution Step II (on) Strike, presents an artistic rendition of the brain’s complex visual processes.
With enlarged stereoscopes reminiscent of 90s-era desktop backgrounds, Namou challenges the viewer to find the moment of artistic creation in works of seemingly endless commotion.
These creations exemplify the artist’s term of “paradoxical formativity” by portraying an image as it might appear in the early stages of visual and spatial recognition.
Playing on the perception of movement in a necessarily static medium, Namou elicits patterns of renewal and transfiguration while echoing similar themes found in the works of Bach and Escher.
Though these visuals may confound the senses, they also offer the viewer refracted glimpses into the very processes that define perception.
