Sara Ludy, Body Wave, 2010
video, 3 min 2 sec
edition of 5 + 2 AP
For Body Wave (2010) Sara Ludy worked with scanned photographs, images found on the Internet, and video taken with her cell phone and edited on the computer to form non-linear video of the collected material. Symmetrically arranged in the mirror image-design associated with inkblot tests, the resulting biomorphic silhouettes tell of their affiliation to the images of landscapes and human figures sourced to create them. Mediated through the process of selection and digital manipulation, Ludy explores relationships between the physical and the metaphysical.
