About

this audiovisual sequence was assembled from original film and photography, captured over a one-year period.  A twenty-track mixed list was prepared by the artist, synchronized to indistinguishability, such that image becomes sound, and sound, image.  All timescales are shirked as the viewer is brought into contact with the self.

the audience is intended to oscillate between introversion and extroversion.  There will be no conversation in the projection room, but free movement between the rooms is encouraged.

a native of California and Switzerland with roots in China, Fritz Kühn is an emerging artist who lives and works in New York.  Having delved into experimentalism and abstraction early-on, these remain his primary means of expression, both in physical and digital media.  His art bridges the gap between human sensation and techno-logic, informed by a bachelor in mathematics.  The loss of his father at a young age spurred him toward the broad themes of life, death, and spirit, of the belief that these are best apprehended indirectly.
