1 00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:10,510 Good evening, everyone. Thank you for coming to the second slide lecture, can everyone hear me? 2 00:00:10,510 --> 00:00:15,700 I have just the position of the mike amphitheatres more easily. 3 00:00:15,700 --> 00:00:21,890 Audible Who is is it okay. Thank you. Thank you. 4 00:00:21,890 --> 00:00:27,770 I'm going to be talking about these collages. 5 00:00:27,770 --> 00:00:34,950 Objects installation is the top of the lettuce field painting on the spectrum. 6 00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:43,990 Last week's lecture already attended is quite general introduction to certain key concepts, 7 00:00:43,990 --> 00:00:52,900 strategies and practises and surrealism, which I think are heavy, still very vital today. 8 00:00:52,900 --> 00:01:05,050 Last week I saw the communism and chants and ended up discussing the Crystal Room in London, which has just been dismantled. 9 00:01:05,050 --> 00:01:13,240 And this week I want to circle around and come back at the end to talk about this quote by the Brazilian artist Sylvie Mirrorless, 10 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:26,480 which is called How to Build Cathedrals. And I am going to be talking about how and why or how it is Whinfield painting 11 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:35,760 for life and what what made it possible for just everyday things to be so, 12 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:42,010 so expressive for artists in the 20th and 21st centuries? 13 00:01:42,010 --> 00:01:46,900 I have to say I'm afraid so. This week is something of a collage. 14 00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:58,720 It's it's a because there are so many wonderful passages from the surrealist writers about this topic, about beyond painting, about collage. 15 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:10,750 I have wanted to do it in full. So so forgive forget that it might make for psychological progress. 16 00:02:10,750 --> 00:02:18,460 The beginning, the further back, though, as an introduction, 17 00:02:18,460 --> 00:02:24,410 another introduction to the two characters at the very beginning of the movement 18 00:02:24,410 --> 00:02:31,180 and the and the nature of this group that became called the settlers movement. 19 00:02:31,180 --> 00:02:42,490 This is a Pinkham Biomass Food local MP who does any meeting of friends and party just to 20 00:02:42,490 --> 00:02:46,640 allow you to put a face to some of the names of the artists that I should be talking about, 21 00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:55,700 Max, out himself. He's there sitting on the knee of Dostoyevsky. 22 00:02:55,700 --> 00:03:06,130 Buchtel, who's I've named many times as being the leader of the movement, is very appropriate place here, wearing a short red plup, 23 00:03:06,130 --> 00:03:14,580 mocking his hockey, his dominant position and holding his hands up in his in a gesture which I suspect somebody would identify for me. 24 00:03:14,580 --> 00:03:19,030 And I'm not sure it's to do with dumb language or whether it's actually a sacred gesture. 25 00:03:19,030 --> 00:03:28,150 One of the other possibilities for that is football. And if you Chirikure is behind it and you are valid, does that help? 26 00:03:28,150 --> 00:03:36,400 Our business is done here. Another someone who we shall meet at various points is at some point amongst Pepé. 27 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:45,040 And the great service, in my view, is to seek it here. It's it's I hope you said about this. 28 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:53,650 It's a it's a portrait of a group that was really quite close. 29 00:03:53,650 --> 00:04:00,040 They like to think of themselves as a collective. They were very, very close. 30 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:05,260 And one of the things that I shall be talking about it is I developed the relationship with Latin America, 31 00:04:05,260 --> 00:04:12,720 which is going to be the longer term strand of the of electorate's will be the nature of the work of 32 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:19,450 the groups or individuals who became affiliated and how they became affiliated with the surrealists. 33 00:04:19,450 --> 00:04:26,350 It wasn't easy because, as I say, it was quite farter and impose the exclusive group. 34 00:04:26,350 --> 00:04:31,420 And it was very easy to get excommunicated if you offended, put on it. 35 00:04:31,420 --> 00:04:38,530 For example, you published your work in the wrong magazine or if you produced a set for a ballet. 36 00:04:38,530 --> 00:04:43,690 These were things that were not actually allowed within the inside of it. 37 00:04:43,690 --> 00:04:55,840 This isn't this is not intended to. The group had just been experimenting with hypnotic chances and out a bit more about that in a moment. 38 00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:06,890 The movement itself was founded in 1924, and there are several photographs, often at various stages in the life of movement. 39 00:05:06,890 --> 00:05:17,250 So then just a little bit about the expansion of surrealism outside outside Paris, outside France, 40 00:05:17,250 --> 00:05:23,680 as shown in later lectures, be taking specific kind of case studies of particular places, 41 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:39,370 the Mexico of Peru and so on, where we will look at exactly how a liberal group like adapted itself to affiliate himself with this this movement. 42 00:05:39,370 --> 00:05:45,430 This is the Silver O'Toole du Monde. I'm not very good at putting the science together. 43 00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:54,100 It shows a selection of publications, exhibition catalogues and so on from really all over the world. 44 00:05:54,100 --> 00:06:05,080 Since about 1937 38, I think this, as you can see there, the surrealist in Japan, even Czechoslovakia surrealism and the salvia. 45 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:17,630 And here is the exhibition that took place in 1935 and in in Peru. 46 00:06:17,630 --> 00:06:25,090 And I was able to talk more about Mexico. 47 00:06:25,090 --> 00:06:36,920 But, of course, what I will also be looking at is the way that there is or might be a local avant garde with which the three artists became attached. 48 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,510 This is quite an interesting question, because doesn't it, in a sense, 49 00:06:40,510 --> 00:06:49,460 try to position itself separately from other advanced so both loops in their own field, 50 00:06:49,460 --> 00:07:00,850 but very often abroad, they they were presented to the public through magazines like this one most contemporaneous, which is a very rare magazine. 51 00:07:00,850 --> 00:07:09,480 Unfortunately, No. Of Mexico. It was the magazine that was published by a group of avant garde poets and. 52 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:20,130 Writers and artists who were innocent sitting so culturally against the muralists and they provided a different kind of forum. 53 00:07:20,130 --> 00:07:28,220 They were amongst the first to reproduce of Atlanta, a rare Gramsci man, Ray, for example. 54 00:07:28,220 --> 00:07:33,310 And another example of an avant garde magazine, Vido Americana, May 1921. 55 00:07:33,310 --> 00:07:39,050 And you can see North, Central and South American, the ongoing review. 56 00:07:39,050 --> 00:07:46,020 And at the top, interest in it says, we shall not have a Hispanic Americans literature. 57 00:07:46,020 --> 00:07:50,080 What it means by that. I will talk about a bit later. 58 00:07:50,080 --> 00:08:03,120 I think they were they were trying to identify themselves with a specific Mexican literature that can run on one of it. 59 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:11,060 So I would say a little bit more about the group's funding movements of the of the group with the experience. 60 00:08:11,060 --> 00:08:24,540 Is it hypnotic Trance's? And I also want to remind you perhaps of the debates that I talked about last week about painting this is be beyond painting. 61 00:08:24,540 --> 00:08:33,600 I was talking last week about the rejection of painting by Max Novis, by IBM and so on, 62 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:39,640 and the kind of painting that they were rejected and say, you know, this cannot actually come as a kind of alternative. 63 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:44,280 Just thinking is something like nascence. Great picture. 64 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,700 Who picked up or evolution by night? It's in the tape gallery. 65 00:08:47,700 --> 00:09:02,310 It is a stunning painting. And despite the objections to this as to innocence, to descriptive, for something to be truly automatic, 66 00:09:02,310 --> 00:09:09,950 we're talking about the importance of automatism as a means to reach some other level of faught activity. 67 00:09:09,950 --> 00:09:18,350 Can Uncompress the default activity? The idea was that or to represent a dream, the problem was with dreams. 68 00:09:18,350 --> 00:09:28,500 That in order to narrate it or paint it, this is there often you have to as it will become conscious of what's going on. 69 00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:34,960 So it's no longer actually drawing this thread. I was trying to talk that last back into the unconscious. 70 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:42,090 So this painting, I mean, one could spend a long time talking about this particular painting. 71 00:09:42,090 --> 00:09:47,970 It's so often in that sense, it's actually quite a learning painting. 72 00:09:47,970 --> 00:09:55,860 People are historians have spent many, many years digging out Mattson's sources, of which there are many. 73 00:09:55,860 --> 00:09:58,620 I just want another one for this, which I'm going to show you in a second. 74 00:09:58,620 --> 00:10:09,650 But the point really, I think, is that it was is referring to his very Freudian relationship with his father. 75 00:10:09,650 --> 00:10:17,700 It's very Oedipal painting, but it's that we can reverse beautiful painting in that it's not the son killing far, 76 00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:25,130 but it's the son actually being being carried apparently dead in the father's arms. 77 00:10:25,130 --> 00:10:35,440 And the reference is obviously to appear to one is more familiar with little Petare as a mother cradling the dead. 78 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:42,840 But in fact, in in Germany, there are guitars with the father holding Christ. 79 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:48,420 And I think so it would be interesting to consider how far this might change. 80 00:10:48,420 --> 00:10:54,990 The way we look at the safety of Astros' itself turned to stone because it went catatonic state. 81 00:10:54,990 --> 00:11:07,050 The father has turned up with stoushes and a bowler hat is wearing the white coat of an inmate of the of the mental hospital Salpetriere. 82 00:11:07,050 --> 00:11:13,450 And this is one track, the source of that, too. 83 00:11:13,450 --> 00:11:24,750 Berton's description of these senses in a magazine called Beat about your ironic they call Richard UCU in 1922, 84 00:11:24,750 --> 00:11:32,970 called into the Mediums and he records the conversations that took place between the different members of the group, 85 00:11:32,970 --> 00:11:40,570 one of whom would be in a trance, one who would be completely, completely unconscious of what was going on. 86 00:11:40,570 --> 00:11:42,000 The self never managed it. 87 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:53,970 Only a few people were able to put themselves into this funk state, and those who did would would be asked questions by the others. 88 00:11:53,970 --> 00:11:59,130 And they could answer. They could actually it was wrong. Although they were not aware of what they were doing. 89 00:11:59,130 --> 00:12:05,550 And all of the exchanges is about. And the and the answer from I did not think, well. 90 00:12:05,550 --> 00:12:17,870 He's wearing the white coat of the south at the. Is actually, you know, he he's referring very directly to those exchanges. 91 00:12:17,870 --> 00:12:25,020 It is a it could also be a painting that emerged from a dream. 92 00:12:25,020 --> 00:12:34,440 I also am fascinated by the possibility that it's it doubles or triples, in a sense. 93 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:42,510 It is for some Holy Ghost. You could say it's also such a painting drawing. 94 00:12:42,510 --> 00:12:57,340 It's very fascinating, multilayered thinking. But it did not conform at this moment in the early 20s and conform to this notion of automatism. 95 00:12:57,340 --> 00:13:11,640 And so it sense set himself, in a sense, to exploring something that would be an equivalent to automatic writing. 96 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:17,310 And he discovers what he called photomontages problems forte's to box. 97 00:13:17,310 --> 00:13:24,570 It's like it's like making making copies of rubbing, rubbing it to a tombstone. 98 00:13:24,570 --> 00:13:33,600 And this is the first page of what he published as an album called Unnatural Natural History. 99 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:38,700 And there is there is a subject, sort of a natural history, 100 00:13:38,700 --> 00:13:47,130 which I which I which I think needs to be new to a lot of very, very, very interesting material in this area. 101 00:13:47,130 --> 00:13:53,100 So I'm going to read in that sense description. 102 00:13:53,100 --> 00:14:07,380 This is from his book, which is one of the sources for the phrase beyond paper with until he published this in 1936 in Cadeau Beyond Painting. 103 00:14:07,380 --> 00:14:13,530 He places photos and collage under the sign of soonish automatism. 104 00:14:13,530 --> 00:14:21,690 And I'm going to quote this description of the discovery of Polish, because, as he puts it, it's very precise. 105 00:14:21,690 --> 00:14:30,960 He wants to document it like a diary. Whether that's just a joke or not, he wasn't there on the 10th of August 1925. 106 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:39,360 And insupportable visual obsession caused me to discover the technical means which have a carbonisation of Leonardo's lesson. 107 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:49,380 He's just going to say this is not his lesson. Reading into a most evil read factors into one of the scenes into it. 108 00:14:49,380 --> 00:15:00,720 And he is love. Luckily for college and what he does with it, to learn all those lessons, beginning with a memory of childhood. 109 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:08,360 In the course of which, a panel of false mahogany situation in front of my bed that played the role of optical provocateur, 110 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:14,040 of a vision of prophecy and finding myself one rainy evening in a seaside inn. 111 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:22,200 I was struck by the session that showed my psychic gaze, the floorboards upon which a thousand scrubbing could deepen the grooves. 112 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:29,670 I decided then to visit the symbolism of this obsession. And in order to aid my meditative and hallucinatory faculties, 113 00:15:29,670 --> 00:15:36,480 I made the boards a series of drawings by placing on them at random sheets of paper, which I took. 114 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,950 I'm Robert Blackleg. Besides the fact that the drawings. 115 00:15:40,950 --> 00:15:48,600 That's a shame. Stephanie Luce, thanks to a series of suggestions and transmutations appearing to them spontaneously. 116 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:53,400 The character of the material being studied would assume yes, 117 00:15:53,400 --> 00:16:03,360 it unbelievably kit images of a nature probably aim to reveal the first cause of the obsession of Jews for seniors up there. 118 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:09,060 So he he does hundreds of these drawings, beginning with an engaging tend to be the drawings that's obtained, 119 00:16:09,060 --> 00:16:17,430 the dark passages, and there's a lot of penumbra. I was surprised by the sudden intensification, by visionary capacities, 120 00:16:17,430 --> 00:16:21,840 by the hallucinatory succession of conflict images superimposed one upon the 121 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:27,570 other with the persistence of quiddity characteristic of amorous memories. 122 00:16:27,570 --> 00:16:33,120 My curiosity awakened and astonished. I began to expand in different kit into question, 123 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:40,830 utilising the same means all sorts material too far to my visual field leaves and there things the regulators with it, 124 00:16:40,830 --> 00:16:47,390 meaning the brush strokes, brushstrokes with modern painting. Young ones read school, etc. 125 00:16:47,390 --> 00:16:56,050 Then I discovered human heads. Animals that baffled ended with a kiss. 126 00:16:56,050 --> 00:17:06,720 Did he choose? He selected a group of these four parties and put them together in Nowthen, which actually has a sequence. 127 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,650 There's no doubt that he doesn't. His final two Olympic history. 128 00:17:11,650 --> 00:17:22,740 London. It is a kind of natural history. References Kinney references before in his own way as a kind of irony. 129 00:17:22,740 --> 00:17:31,890 All. It's a question, if you like, of categories questioning of how the soul of the world, 130 00:17:31,890 --> 00:17:37,740 the growth of the world, the history of the world has been told in the past. Few articles have changed many, many times. 131 00:17:37,740 --> 00:17:48,790 So this is a. So now I count to five of the of the of the plates that I other through a selection I hope to have underlined. 132 00:17:48,790 --> 00:17:57,060 I mean, I think that one has to admit that they are to a degree automatic and heat. 133 00:17:57,060 --> 00:18:02,110 He emphasises that Thomas is not in that text and say he didn't know what he did. 134 00:18:02,110 --> 00:18:07,290 He didn't understand why these these very deeply moved fútbol fascinated him. 135 00:18:07,290 --> 00:18:15,980 Everybody loved it. But something emerged that suggested an image that suggests because of the obsession, 136 00:18:15,980 --> 00:18:22,830 they are actually closure's, but they are so extraordinarily delicately done. 137 00:18:22,830 --> 00:18:30,570 Even when you see the original before the prints that were made for the album, did you have to 100 percent to prove that it was allowed to see? 138 00:18:30,570 --> 00:18:37,640 Can't really tell. But they that they are very, very carefully put together. 139 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:43,850 Collages. So don't imagine that that was all produced in one session with the floorboard. 140 00:18:43,850 --> 00:18:49,590 It wasn't quite at this. I think is is quite typical in a sense. 141 00:18:49,590 --> 00:19:01,620 It's like something emerging from the darkness, from the water's light in in the form of this square in the centre, which is is also the page itself. 142 00:19:01,620 --> 00:19:13,170 So it's very self-referential about the way the photo was made and the extraordinary the grooves and background and take on a of cosmic aura. 143 00:19:13,170 --> 00:19:20,310 And then the next one is very close. And it's it's it's as if it's the creation of the song. 144 00:19:20,310 --> 00:19:22,710 Something like that is not literal, 145 00:19:22,710 --> 00:19:34,770 but it's he he's taking one on a kind of an imaginary as it was spontaneously produced in his idea, a natural history. 146 00:19:34,770 --> 00:19:40,590 Then there's the the emergence from the waters of the lances called the Pampas. 147 00:19:40,590 --> 00:19:49,830 And I think recognising probably or at least he wants you to see in the upper part of that tree a fossil, 148 00:19:49,830 --> 00:19:56,790 it looks as if he's actually rubbed a fossil on the fossil has then become the the branches and beliefs of trees. 149 00:19:56,790 --> 00:20:00,840 But you can see the transformative nature of the of the effect. 150 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:07,640 The rubbing with the material actually begins to metamorphosed into something else. 151 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:19,210 There is a whole series of plates on plants and like this one. 152 00:20:19,210 --> 00:20:30,750 She calls her secret. That is a collage in the main, the kind of errantly phallic shape is his home to another sheet of paper. 153 00:20:30,750 --> 00:20:35,500 And there's a different kind of material, different texture behind it with the shadow. 154 00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:45,460 And then this is very fascinating how often he echoes a shape in the far distance does it to try to create a sense of space and great depth. 155 00:20:45,460 --> 00:20:50,370 It's not really an echo. It's a different shade, something different. The he's in the back. 156 00:20:50,370 --> 00:20:56,530 There is one called the habit of leaves, presence and absences. 157 00:20:56,530 --> 00:21:02,890 Chestnut leaves one of my favourites, which is a kind of chestnut insect. 158 00:21:02,890 --> 00:21:07,540 It's a kind of plaque insect. This is really fascinated by these hybrid, 159 00:21:07,540 --> 00:21:15,580 these things that can't quite be categorised properly as either plant or animal, as either animal or vegetable. 160 00:21:15,580 --> 00:21:24,970 And so on. So this is a teenage lichen. And the wheel of light, which is a very elaborate. 161 00:21:24,970 --> 00:21:33,580 Which, as you can see, the veins, is it. And he's killing him with it with a metaphore of the veins and an eye and the veins of the leaf. 162 00:21:33,580 --> 00:21:39,940 He's he's rubbed the leaf, which produces the background to the eyes of the eye. 163 00:21:39,940 --> 00:21:48,880 And, of course, the surrounding also, which is not really seen something else that has been rubbed, abuses of this extraordinary image. 164 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:58,880 There are there are there kind of a bringing together of the metamorphosis of materials, 165 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:09,190 a sort of magically consternation, materials and juxtapositions that are quite striking, metaphorical juxtapositions. 166 00:22:09,190 --> 00:22:13,540 And the fun was the beginning with the creation of the world and the woman. 167 00:22:13,540 --> 00:22:18,110 This is very much so through its natural history and with Eve. 168 00:22:18,110 --> 00:22:21,920 The one next to us, which actually. So this is a painting. 169 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:33,370 So proctology is, well, very important for artist as well to affirm his position in relation to the to the smallest movement. 170 00:22:33,370 --> 00:22:40,640 And in the same TextField painting, he also talks about his collages. 171 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:58,870 And this one I just went to. Mention a very important essay by Bulford, Benyamin, the 1928 and demands are taking on surrealism. 172 00:22:58,870 --> 00:23:06,480 Latest shoot snapshot of the European intelligentsia. It's often translated, this is lost. 173 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:11,160 Snapshots go to feel pain, intelligence as though Susan was already at an end. 174 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:22,240 In fact, it's the latest slips, the latest set for Europe intelligentsia and observe that intellectual currents can generate 175 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:29,180 a sufficient headed water for the critic to install his power station and the current. 176 00:23:29,180 --> 00:23:34,670 He felt that power, his appreciation through Amazon was flowing somewhere else. 177 00:23:34,670 --> 00:23:43,610 And he felt the heat in Germany was a very low level and everything was coming from Paris and that he could gauge the energy use of this transmission. 178 00:23:43,610 --> 00:23:50,460 And he said the level of revolution energy in surrealism was profound and profound illumination. 179 00:23:50,460 --> 00:23:55,430 A materialistic anthropological investigation. Magical experiments with words. 180 00:23:55,430 --> 00:24:03,500 The radical concept of freedom. The purpose in the city. Esoteric law or face realism with the head of the gradient. 181 00:24:03,500 --> 00:24:13,640 Now he just read three of the most important sort of books that really establish surrealism as the foremost intellectual, 182 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:27,210 poetic movement of the time in Europe. He had read an idea addles Paris peasant and others on his treatise on style. 183 00:24:27,210 --> 00:24:33,080 And is about is this is it the ruffians of the circle? Not literature, but something else. 184 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:37,890 Demonstration's what further documents Bluff's forgeries, if you will. 185 00:24:37,890 --> 00:24:47,510 But anyway, not literature. That is some literature with experiences, not the periods and stillness with phantasms. 186 00:24:47,510 --> 00:24:53,720 So I think it's very interesting that this is not literature is somebody else's documents that some of the kind. 187 00:24:53,720 --> 00:25:02,960 And so the question that when I began to if I'm going on collaging objects, the question is what? 188 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:10,310 What were the artists doing? Similarly, to avoid the more traditional forms of expression. 189 00:25:10,310 --> 00:25:20,570 How are they going to produce something that was related more directly to experience? 190 00:25:20,570 --> 00:25:30,290 Now, the. This is one lucky 21. 191 00:25:30,290 --> 00:25:36,440 Oh, yes, 19 to 21 colleges that Max made while he was still in Germany. 192 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,190 He's not unable to leave under the British occupation. 193 00:25:40,190 --> 00:25:49,270 Finally, he got out using any false passport and lived under undercover footage in Paris. 194 00:25:49,270 --> 00:25:52,820 But these these collages can't close. 195 00:25:52,820 --> 00:26:05,740 This particular one is called Fizi Mythological Flood Picture, and it consists of couple photographs and cut out reproductions. 196 00:26:05,740 --> 00:26:14,450 So I think what it probably is, is a kind of parody of the mission of the new man. 197 00:26:14,450 --> 00:26:20,890 This shows a human with a dinosaur's pull with a book. 198 00:26:20,890 --> 00:26:26,300 There's a dinosaur in the background. I like to mention that some great dinosaurs here. 199 00:26:26,300 --> 00:26:31,290 And a bird head. So it's a hybrid creature. 200 00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:37,640 It's a it's a you know, it's an exotic conjunction of different things. 201 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:45,570 And so I mention this because there is a great deal of of anachronism in service. 202 00:26:45,570 --> 00:26:52,810 So it was it was not modern. And I think that it's it's something that I want to pick up as we go on. 203 00:26:52,810 --> 00:27:10,450 What one might mean by using this is another pullovers, a kind of joke layer upon the face in the foreground with the hand scratching its head. 204 00:27:10,450 --> 00:27:19,720 And at the top, on his old masters, the master's bedroom uncuff, a lot of these collages, so-called collages are actually over paintings. 205 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:32,570 This is and some so called them. And you can see here the sheet from a child sort of natural history lesson which has used. 206 00:27:32,570 --> 00:27:39,550 You can you can pick up one or two of the creatures at the well in the bottom left hand corner and the. 207 00:27:39,550 --> 00:27:47,440 Is it a rhino or a hippo in the in the background, which he has he has his elimination, everything else over pinched everything else. 208 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:54,970 It's not a question of adding. It's a question of taking well and making some very strong perspective room. 209 00:27:54,970 --> 00:27:58,740 It is an effort to chirikova above it. 210 00:27:58,740 --> 00:28:08,950 And I know another quotation of which I think is extremely important from the preface that read en route to the exhibition. 211 00:28:08,950 --> 00:28:21,700 These collages that took place in Paris in 1921. These these collages sort of ontologies over paintings were unpacked by the 212 00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:28,190 little surrealist group and with the reference sensation of absolute amazement, 213 00:28:28,190 --> 00:28:38,120 didn't see anything quite like this before. And this is what Republicans preface the invention of photography with the 214 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:43,620 invention of it has dealt a mortal blow to the old modes expression in paintings, 215 00:28:43,620 --> 00:28:50,700 letters and poetry. The belief in an absolute time and space seems to be vanishing. 216 00:28:50,700 --> 00:28:57,560 That does not pretend to be modern. If it was submission, the laws of any given perspective as useless. 217 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:04,450 It is the marvellous faculty of tending to why this set of realities that healthy from the realm of our experience, 218 00:29:04,450 --> 00:29:10,040 of bringing them together and drawing thought from that content govern within reach of our senses. 219 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:15,180 Abstract figures in dub, the same intensity, the same relief as other peoples. 220 00:29:15,180 --> 00:29:24,160 And of this, or impious in our own memory by the previous frame of reference, is this fact to present sustained sutta today? 221 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:30,880 And more. We know how to make a locomotive alive in a picture as the use of slow motion, 222 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:39,310 fast motion cameras becomes more gine as we grow accustomed to seeing apes and antelopes flying through the air. 223 00:29:39,310 --> 00:29:45,190 We begin to falsey with extreme emotion. What this time space which people are talking maybe. 224 00:29:45,190 --> 00:29:51,730 Who knows what we may be preparing for escape one day from the principle of identity 225 00:29:51,730 --> 00:29:56,080 because of his determination to have done the swindling mysticism of a still life. 226 00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:02,320 He projects before our eyes the this captivating film in the world. 227 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,840 So what? What, what? 228 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:12,700 So what reference is to see in these in these collages? 229 00:30:12,700 --> 00:30:19,600 Is a collapsing of the kind of rules of the old rules of time and space, a capsule setting. 230 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:30,790 And this image supposed to image, which was most famously described by the surrealists in terms of the 19th century, 231 00:30:30,790 --> 00:30:40,250 put Isidore did pass the company look FAMIL, who wrote a very violent Gothic prose poem called The Songs about the whole. 232 00:30:40,250 --> 00:30:46,860 They're showing the mouldable and one of the phrases in that which follows up food minifie. 233 00:30:46,860 --> 00:30:52,820 You know this as beautiful as the chance encounter on a bus, it can take all the same. 234 00:30:52,820 --> 00:30:58,680 She and an umbrella. I mentioned the songs with I mentioned eighty seven point three together. 235 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:03,100 Complete like things on a sub, thanks to both of them. 236 00:31:03,100 --> 00:31:11,830 The idea was that this this conjunct could only really come unconsciously, that it couldn't actually be false. 237 00:31:11,830 --> 00:31:20,120 And it's that kind of image that that made man identified in in its collages. 238 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:26,600 This extraordinary selection of unlike things which produces this perfect magic, 239 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:36,340 iStock, which he thought was really was the equivalent of automatic poetry. 240 00:31:36,340 --> 00:31:45,820 Louis Havel wrote an essay about collages in the preface to an exhibition called The Control or Defeat. 241 00:31:45,820 --> 00:31:55,660 This, again, is kind of challenging painting. And he said that if their demands are Tinchy because of the way it has nothing against 242 00:31:55,660 --> 00:32:04,480 is absolutely opposed to painting a painting he says has a beginning and also an end. 243 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:15,780 It is, he said, can't be a luxury product. Whereas collage is made from poor materials and Argo tells a little incident. 244 00:32:15,780 --> 00:32:25,910 He's talking about the way so many different artists are using collage of some kind, using some kind of extraneous material on the picture. 245 00:32:25,910 --> 00:32:30,880 He trace it back to Kubis, who, of course, introduced real things into their paintings, 246 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:38,770 introduced a cigarette packet or introduced a bit of sound or introduced newspaper. 247 00:32:38,770 --> 00:32:49,360 And that, Aragon says, was actually more to do with testing out reality, with introducing the individuals into the into the painting. 248 00:32:49,360 --> 00:33:02,380 These are the face off of all the different colours. And he talked about Picasso also using Sakshi on his paintings using very, very rough materials. 249 00:33:02,380 --> 00:33:09,290 And apparently, one of the cases of Moreau's Kaminen was an extremely beautiful silk. 250 00:33:09,290 --> 00:33:17,510 And so if to use this instead of a between the point at the end of the 20s, 251 00:33:17,510 --> 00:33:32,980 next insulted a series of novels in which he cut up 19th century engravings and constructed these extraordinary little mini narratives of of a very, 252 00:33:32,980 --> 00:33:36,340 very strange, extremely to. These engravings. 253 00:33:36,340 --> 00:33:41,890 This one is from the first of these collection, more hopeful that found some text, which translates hard. 254 00:33:41,890 --> 00:33:50,200 Was that hit this woman or woman the hundred? It's not quite the immaculate conception. 255 00:33:50,200 --> 00:34:13,760 And I, I just want here to refer to a group in Chile, the main federal group, which I took briefly last week, and a lot of other curious, 256 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:20,360 curious the critical relationship that occurred as a result of one of the artists 257 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:27,880 linked to this group practising a coloured engravings based on access mandragora. 258 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:34,030 This is, of course, a photo collage by this office for Exodus. 259 00:34:34,030 --> 00:34:42,340 This is the part of the one that some of his photographs reproduced in Mandragora. 260 00:34:42,340 --> 00:34:47,720 And this is one of the engravings in in the Devora. 261 00:34:47,720 --> 00:34:56,980 And he's Cassius wrote a book of poems which he illustrated with engravings and photographs that he called Monument to the Birds. 262 00:34:56,980 --> 00:35:00,040 And he sent copies to people in Mexico. 263 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:12,820 Benjamin Petitt, who is some of the greatest friend we could keep, and the warning in a letter of December 1942 to Exodus and Paris follows. 264 00:35:12,820 --> 00:35:19,600 Everyone at some time has been more or less influenced by the works of his predecessors in Monument to the Birds. 265 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:25,860 I think the influence in that sense is so invasive that it hides in tongue pocket hazardous. 266 00:35:25,860 --> 00:35:33,880 This is serious at any price. You must forget that sense from the other surrealists in order to find yourself. 267 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:41,380 Otherwise, you risk paraphrasing someone or rather without the personality of hawking hazardous managing to detach itself, 268 00:35:41,380 --> 00:35:49,870 I think to the collage has become very difficult to use as a means of expression unless its elements can be completely removed. 269 00:35:49,870 --> 00:35:55,480 It is used by militants have become obviously unusable by anyone else. 270 00:35:55,480 --> 00:36:01,420 The best thing would be, in my opinion, to look for new automatic procedures. 271 00:36:01,420 --> 00:36:09,040 Surely there was some, but no sort of yet. Well, I'm fortunate I didn't have a happy ending to this story. 272 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:13,660 I didn't Pessaries, as far as I know, it veridical more. 273 00:36:13,660 --> 00:36:19,090 In fact, he took up ballet and died quite young. 274 00:36:19,090 --> 00:36:26,010 I think this letter confirms the point that surrealism never sought to establish style. 275 00:36:26,010 --> 00:36:33,040 That's that's one of the things I want to insist on. And it never sought to spread a given form of expression. 276 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:42,090 It wanted people to discover their own form of work, to explore their own automatism, if you like, 277 00:36:42,090 --> 00:36:48,070 and emphasise that because it's very contrary to quite malicious characterisations, 278 00:36:48,070 --> 00:36:55,600 surrealism by Electro Carpentier, who was the kind of inventor of magical realism. 279 00:36:55,600 --> 00:37:02,060 And he describes it as follows. The dream technicians became bureaucrats fault poverty of the imagination. 280 00:37:02,060 --> 00:37:09,110 Munoz said his learning codes by heart. Today, there are codes for the fantastic. 281 00:37:09,110 --> 00:37:13,730 It may be that this actually has become a problem with surrealism. 282 00:37:13,730 --> 00:37:16,880 When you say surrealism, as people think Salvador Dali, 283 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:24,800 you don't think of really anybody very much film that there is a kind of codifying the fantastic, 284 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:35,980 if you like, a codified degree with Dulli, which which is the more damage to a patient's rooms of them than anything else. 285 00:37:35,980 --> 00:37:40,610 So this is something that there is no such thing as a sort of subtle. OK. 286 00:37:40,610 --> 00:37:51,980 Everything in the senses is a certain degree, not the way I want to look at is objects. 287 00:37:51,980 --> 00:38:02,260 And I want to leap from that to insulations. 1936 was the history of objects crime in all its diversity. 288 00:38:02,260 --> 00:38:08,060 And there's a special issue of the review I had just given every time to it. 289 00:38:08,060 --> 00:38:14,480 And this is a method you can see. You see the caption there. 290 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:23,960 This is one of the mathematical objects that memory and a friend has discovered in the Plunker Institute in Paris. 291 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:32,230 These are quite extraordinary objects. And they were there to demonstrate certain kinds of mathematical geometrical equations. 292 00:38:32,230 --> 00:38:35,210 Did a series of photographs of them. 293 00:38:35,210 --> 00:38:48,230 And this is another illustration from the KDAF is issue, including sculptures with incorporated ready-Made elements. 294 00:38:48,230 --> 00:38:52,920 Another page with with with a telephone, a sardine can. 295 00:38:52,920 --> 00:39:01,220 Bottom left is a time of the object bulges at Como, which is on the bones with Victorian glass cases. 296 00:39:01,220 --> 00:39:04,850 Top brass is the work I talked about a little bit last week. 297 00:39:04,850 --> 00:39:15,200 The three stand is Socrates by Marcel Duchamp. And at the bottom, a photograph by himself, a photograph of the doll. 298 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:21,190 And as if the work is a photograph of the doll, the doll exists as a physical object. 299 00:39:21,190 --> 00:39:25,070 But there's always negation, different positions. 300 00:39:25,070 --> 00:39:37,010 So these very various things are there as part of the exhibition and the catalogue arranged these objects in the following categories. 301 00:39:37,010 --> 00:39:47,330 Natural objects interpreted natural objects, incorporated natural objects, perturbed objects, far objects, interpreted found objects, 302 00:39:47,330 --> 00:39:56,030 American objects as Ziani objects, mathematical objects, readymades and assisted readymades unserviced objects. 303 00:39:56,030 --> 00:40:15,770 So if objects are another category within this much broader group of four objects and in 1941 several value had 304 00:40:15,770 --> 00:40:24,050 introduced to the idea of a sort of object in the magazine silvania themselves Stockholm assume with example, 305 00:40:24,050 --> 00:40:32,240 find himself. Can you go to any law and apply himself now? 306 00:40:32,240 --> 00:40:41,690 I think these can be traced back. The values should be objects and the great glass of the objects in the mid 30s to a very 307 00:40:41,690 --> 00:40:47,540 important text of bookings for the introduction to the discourse on the paucity of reality. 308 00:40:47,540 --> 00:41:01,430 1924, same year in Memphis. And in this text, he leaks two apparently incompatible human needs, needs, greed and the desire for verification. 309 00:41:01,430 --> 00:41:08,910 He's complaining that we didn't give so much credit to the testimony of a poet because 310 00:41:08,910 --> 00:41:14,990 he do the testimony of an explorer and he thought it was it's as as a human experience. 311 00:41:14,990 --> 00:41:21,800 That testimony is just as real as the testimony of somebody who's taking a pill and then unconscious. 312 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:33,470 Then it's overlapping Panopto. And he says the human fetishism, which must turn in the white helmet or caress the football. 313 00:41:33,470 --> 00:41:39,350 This is with an entirely different ear to the cycle by expeditions. 314 00:41:39,350 --> 00:41:42,840 So I'm not quoting this. This is passive. 315 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:54,350 The recall, as it were, of us that thinks about this 1924, thinks about the object to satisfy the desire for perpetual verification. 316 00:41:54,350 --> 00:41:58,310 I recently proposed to fabricate insofar as possible, 317 00:41:58,310 --> 00:42:04,670 certain objects which are approached only in dreams and which seem no more useful than enjoyable. 318 00:42:04,670 --> 00:42:08,460 Most recently, while I was asleep, I chemicals or. 319 00:42:08,460 --> 00:42:15,780 He was put in an open air market in Somalia, the back of the boat was formed by Wooden Known, 320 00:42:15,780 --> 00:42:20,760 whose wife feared kicked in the Assyrian manner, reached to his feet. 321 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:27,840 The statue was ordinary sickness that did not prevent it from turning the pages, which were of heavy black cloth. 322 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:36,120 I was anxious to buy it. And upon waking sorrow not to find it when it is comparatively easy to recall it. 323 00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:43,770 I would like to put into circulation certain objects of this kind which appear eminently problematical and intriguing. 324 00:42:43,770 --> 00:42:53,580 I would accompany each of my books with a copy. Perhaps in that way I should help to throw further discredit on those creatures and things of reason. 325 00:42:53,580 --> 00:43:03,960 Who? There might be other machines with very scientific construction plans for many cities which might be mined out up, which, 326 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:10,740 although I would never carry them out, at least might classify the present and future capitals absurd automatons. 327 00:43:10,740 --> 00:43:19,210 Perfect. The last degree, which would function like nothing else on Earth, might give us an accurate idea of action. 328 00:43:19,210 --> 00:43:24,690 We'll to emphasised in this in this passage as an issue of discrediting the utilitarian 329 00:43:24,690 --> 00:43:29,220 objects of their day in favour of objects that the some other kinds of need, 330 00:43:29,220 --> 00:43:32,330 that one profound greed. Didn't know what it was you needed it for. 331 00:43:32,330 --> 00:43:42,090 If you wanted it such as fetishise, I think the science fiction aspect of reference, imagining objects, not text, is also very interesting. 332 00:43:42,090 --> 00:43:49,650 And it relates to the sort of Silow with modern physics that reached the peak in the 1930s. 333 00:43:49,650 --> 00:43:56,610 So we don't formally launched the suit adopted. This is a this is a page I was I was talking about. 334 00:43:56,610 --> 00:44:02,900 So as we said, this stuff, Olufsen. He took the fetish aspect of the object as a starting point in the sense that a serious 335 00:44:02,900 --> 00:44:08,180 object should be made in real materials whose normal function aspect was overwritten. 336 00:44:08,180 --> 00:44:14,830 You develop the notion of the symbolic functioning object. And he decides that as an object. 337 00:44:14,830 --> 00:44:19,670 And if you can see it's not a very good put together unless you have two hands. 338 00:44:19,670 --> 00:44:23,730 One is wearing a white glove and holding it for this dust. 339 00:44:23,730 --> 00:44:32,040 The other is wearing a red plastic glove. And it's just slightly lifting the low off the cuff of the glove of the hand. 340 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:38,000 It's extraordinarily erotic gesture. And of course, it doesn't actually move. 341 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:49,680 But the suggestion of movement is very sommore. And the duns object is the shoe, which is place on the island for sand suspended from a rope above. 342 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:55,590 It is a sugar lamp with another image of the shoe in it, which is meant from the glass of milk below. 343 00:44:55,590 --> 00:45:01,130 This is this is something that Dulli himself invented in his youth. 344 00:45:01,130 --> 00:45:04,250 It's already made it all materials. None of it is actually a sculpture. 345 00:45:04,250 --> 00:45:11,460 It's all things taken from everyday, like the shoe, which is a classic fetish, and the other the other bits and pieces. 346 00:45:11,460 --> 00:45:21,110 And what you hope is that it will that it would be a kind of an irritant that you want to irrigate with with this implied movement. 347 00:45:21,110 --> 00:45:27,300 And the this is another scrape in the same issue of the magazine. 348 00:45:27,300 --> 00:45:35,070 These are linked to the object. The model for this was the work on the right hand side here, which is Japan. 349 00:45:35,070 --> 00:45:43,540 It is suspended for which Dulles's is a perfect symbolic, symbolic function object. 350 00:45:43,540 --> 00:45:48,950 Said that Facil Asoka which which Rovell, which is not his idea. 351 00:45:48,950 --> 00:45:55,800 Whose idea was these should be in order to carry that kind of to carry the charge that was needed. 352 00:45:55,800 --> 00:46:04,620 They should actually be real things. They should actually have something they should have breached in human experience somewhere. 353 00:46:04,620 --> 00:46:12,630 This is a page. Another page from the same issue, definitely called dumb mobile objects. 354 00:46:12,630 --> 00:46:19,280 And these are sketches, drawings for sculptures, some of which Jacklin, if you did me. 355 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:29,080 Again, I'm interested in is this notion of movement as a movement which is implicit rather than actual. 356 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:33,500 But it seems to correspond to that idea that that's modern. 357 00:46:33,500 --> 00:46:43,440 You sort of I mentioned last week of the flight the importance of the flight of thought of the flight of images in the form of surrealists. 358 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:49,290 And this is see the see the pulse of a jackhammer is suspended ball, 359 00:46:49,290 --> 00:47:00,030 which is a sculpture, I think of it has been extremely, extremely closely analysed. 360 00:47:00,030 --> 00:47:06,280 It's a very, very, very interesting object. It's it's obviously has a sexual charges. 361 00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,240 What was this? Because that's a. Mike Sweeney. 362 00:47:09,240 --> 00:47:17,910 And then a flirt, but as it were, which is man, which is female, is something that you might disagree about. 363 00:47:17,910 --> 00:47:27,060 In a sense, it's it's reversible. It could be either. It's also, I think, to do with cell phones and songs you could think of. 364 00:47:27,060 --> 00:47:36,870 It isn't. I mean, because Melanie doesn't do it as a rule. It's gotten sort of a range of metaphorical possibilities. 365 00:47:36,870 --> 00:47:45,180 This is the cover of the catalogue. Two different objects. And I need to go on to some of these. 366 00:47:45,180 --> 00:47:49,590 These are some fun and some interpretive and some natural objects. 367 00:47:49,590 --> 00:47:57,480 On the bottom left is a wonderful photograph by Dora mom of it's actually apparently it looks rather frightening. 368 00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:02,940 Looks like a sort of a bland creature. It's apparently baby armadillo. 369 00:48:02,940 --> 00:48:12,810 That's what it's called. Pelton. American objects. 370 00:48:12,810 --> 00:48:22,460 I want to quickly now just look at a couple of other examples of objects. 371 00:48:22,460 --> 00:48:27,750 Britain found that his idea of the simple functioning object too fussy. 372 00:48:27,750 --> 00:48:39,700 And he said that he found far more moving and evocative and erotic the ability for electricity, which which is two sheets of gold, 373 00:48:39,700 --> 00:48:43,290 which when you when you take magnetised signature screen apart, 374 00:48:43,290 --> 00:48:50,290 suddenly this to him actually much more effective than than the very elaborate symbolic objects that Dunn made. 375 00:48:50,290 --> 00:48:58,240 And there was a trend about 36 percent, four objects like some very simple, but it's a little bit simpler. 376 00:48:58,240 --> 00:49:04,050 This is an object by code car who is much better known, I'm sure, to you as a photographer. 377 00:49:04,050 --> 00:49:09,880 This is one of her self portraits possibly taken with Suzanne Malveaux. 378 00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:18,950 And when we talk about Genda coming back to this wonderful photographer, a lesbian activist, 379 00:49:18,950 --> 00:49:26,310 but she did me three objects, fortnightly statistics, exhibition, Char Vetle gallery, which this is. 380 00:49:26,310 --> 00:49:37,620 I think that anyone that survived. She she's an artist who has emerged briefly recently. 381 00:49:37,620 --> 00:49:46,280 She was thought to be a man at one time. The photographs slowpoke was thought to be male and was in 1986. 382 00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:54,150 This object emerged from the dealer who's been just keeping it quiet all the time. 383 00:49:54,150 --> 00:50:02,700 It hasn't scriptural base, which is gives the masses is a revolution song. 384 00:50:02,700 --> 00:50:09,840 Anyone who fits will will suffer forced labour. 385 00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:15,420 This is a collage of two phrases from different faces. One it one is a sort of a very, very common phrase. 386 00:50:15,420 --> 00:50:20,730 The term, the popular front mossie is as it is, a revolutionary song. 387 00:50:20,730 --> 00:50:26,850 And the other is actually which is printed on Belgian banknotes that. 388 00:50:26,850 --> 00:50:31,950 But the opiate itself, the size of it. 389 00:50:31,950 --> 00:50:35,850 The eye does the kind of. I'm in the middle. 390 00:50:35,850 --> 00:50:41,420 It is a tennis ball is painted tennis ball. Behind it is a car. 391 00:50:41,420 --> 00:50:52,910 And the references are very clear. I think to to the daily Buñuel finishing the loop, which opens with it with a sense of if it's. 392 00:50:52,910 --> 00:50:57,860 And and I think the vagina. And it's extremely troubling object. 393 00:50:57,860 --> 00:51:08,310 And if anyone's read your sister. Sorry, they are. I think you recognise a very, very precise reference in this subject. 394 00:51:08,310 --> 00:51:13,860 And then I would end with with installations. 395 00:51:13,860 --> 00:51:24,750 But I have to try to build up to really is is the way that the idea about the object being part of everyday life. 396 00:51:24,750 --> 00:51:29,550 I mean, these objects that are both not utilitarian but are made from real things. 397 00:51:29,550 --> 00:51:38,750 This this this kind of bounce that that the service infested in we took took over the exhibitions 398 00:51:38,750 --> 00:51:47,400 in 1938 that this episode of exhibition held at the Bulls are gonna have a kind of selloff, 399 00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:56,250 which if this is a I couldn't see the photograph with a little history of objects in it, with a real brazier, with a real fade into the real pond. 400 00:51:56,250 --> 00:52:04,830 The real bra, graphs and tweeks, paintings and other objects and the ceilings and Qiqi concepts of code. 401 00:52:04,830 --> 00:52:16,780 So it is the home environment. To embrace you, if you love and provoke provoke a kind of a frisson like feel. 402 00:52:16,780 --> 00:52:24,210 And so it would be part of the entire thing top an entire environment. 403 00:52:24,210 --> 00:52:35,140 And so I want to come back to the island as I started it, which is which is contemporary. 404 00:52:35,140 --> 00:52:38,590 Richard, recent book. He's an artist, too. 405 00:52:38,590 --> 00:52:47,580 I'm not saying that he is a service, that he's working with this sort of extended form of of of medium that the sweetest object. 406 00:52:47,580 --> 00:52:53,730 And those are the kinds of objects actually opened up. And I will end with this. 407 00:52:53,730 --> 00:53:01,260 And one of the work of his. This film is called Mission Missions How to Build Cathedrals. 408 00:53:01,260 --> 00:53:07,500 And it was commissioned for a group exhibition to commemorate the seven Jesuit mission secondments found in the region. 409 00:53:07,500 --> 00:53:14,840 Joining does not suffer Zill, Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay between 16, 10 and 1767. 410 00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:26,030 The structure is Hobsons above and 600000 coins below. 411 00:53:26,030 --> 00:53:33,180 Within one centavos in the original version linked by a column of communion wafers. 412 00:53:33,180 --> 00:53:34,830 That's what the poem is. 413 00:53:34,830 --> 00:53:47,460 It's all communion wafers and everything resembles a cold, logical model of fondler regions, but one in which the heavens are nothing but bones. 414 00:53:47,460 --> 00:54:00,750 Meredith's father has a mathematical equation. Economic PA coins, spiritual path, wafers equals tragedy or the human condition or death. 415 00:54:00,750 --> 00:54:06,700 The notion of transubstantiation is shocking and materialised is the way the path leads up to it. 416 00:54:06,700 --> 00:54:15,210 Who's Parfit Zonk with black humour? I think you could also make a case with, as a sort of surrealist image, 417 00:54:15,210 --> 00:54:19,980 bringing together disparate things and creating, in this case, iconoclastic spot. 418 00:54:19,980 --> 00:54:27,950 And that's injunction's as simply equipped with 19 2008 to catalogue of silver medallist, 419 00:54:27,950 --> 00:54:33,360 his forms introduce new configurations of the unconscious within the social field, 420 00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:38,460 breaking the dominant references to the dominant symbolism behind this. 421 00:54:38,460 --> 00:54:43,580 There is again, the reality is acute awareness of a colonial history, which is still ongoing, 422 00:54:43,580 --> 00:54:47,700 although mission missions is made in response to a very specific history and geography. 423 00:54:47,700 --> 00:54:55,430 It is transferable anywhere as an image of the complex relations with spiritual material and economic power. 424 00:54:55,430 --> 00:55:00,172 Thank you.
