A. Melik Ohanian

"Stuttering"

published at 09/11/2018

Exposition de Melik Ohanian pour le Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire, 2015 © Melik Ohanian

Svelata nel 2002 durante l’inaugurazione del Palais de Tokyo a Parigi, Island of an Island (1999-2001), è la prima opera di ampio respiro di Melik Ohanian. Raffigura la nascita dell’isola di Surtsey, apparsa al largo dell’Islanda dopo un’irruzione vulcanica sottomarina avvenuta nel 1963 — questo esiguo territorio messo sotto tutela dalla comunità scientifica internazionale, vietato al pubblico, diventerà un osservatorio privilegiato per lo studio e l’apparizione della vita.

Da allora, Melik Ohanian interroga ininterrottamente il nostro rapporto con il mondo, la memoria, il tempo e lo spazio. Istaura il suo pensiero attraverso numerosi mezzi (fotografie, filmati, video ...). Le sue opere, complesse ed esigenti, si nutrono di filosofia, metodi scientifici, ricerca. Possono essere lette come un laboratorio d’idee che propone altre ipotesi. I suoi dispositivi sottili e emersivi pongono lo spettatore in una situazione “di intense esperienze fenomenologiche”.

Stuttering (in italiana "balbettamento") è una serie di fotografie scattate nei giardini botanici di Palermo. Presentate su uno schermo plasma - alla strega di cassoni luminosi – ognuna di esse, raddoppiata durante la ripresa con una variazione del punto focale provoca una specie di oscillazione visiva e tremore. Un “balbettamento” dell’immagine che offusca il nostro campo visivo e suggerisce il battito di un cuore o quello della natura.
