MAPS from Malcolm Mc Neill on Vimeo. Music from “Elements” by Ludovico Einaudi.
A CREATED IMAGE is the map of a moment in TIME, embedded within it are all the energies that occurred during its making: the sounds, the feelings, the people, the places, even the weather are locked inside it. When combined with others, images constitute a unique form of landscape.
MAPS is an attempt to see the big picture, the sum of the parts, and to understand the nature of image-making and the energies that compel it. A created image is an emotional glyph, by standing back it is possible to decipher the greater narrative of TIME of which it is part.
All images in the video were created by Malcolm Mc Neill, including sculptures, sets, film, video, and texts.
