TUSSLEMUSCLE<br />

Steve Cossman<br />

Die hier präsentierte Arbeit ist eine Betrachtung des<br />

ökologischen Verhältnisses der Menschheit und dem<br />

Ritual der Restauration. Der starke Puls vermittelt ein<br />

Gefühl von Dringlichkeit und chaotischem Kampf,<br />

während die hypnotisierende Anordnung uns in blinder<br />

Ehrfurcht vor deren Zustand erstarren lässt. TUS-<br />

SLEMUSCLE besteht aus 7.000 Einzelbildern, nach<br />

dem Vorbild der Dias auf den Scheiben für View-Master.<br />

Jedes Bild wurde von Hand geschnitten, um einen<br />

bandförmigen Filmstreifen zu erhalten. Jacob Long<br />

komponierte die Musik.<br />

The work presented is a reflection on humanity's ecological<br />

relationship and the ritual of restoration. The<br />

violent pulse speaks with a sense of urgency and<br />

chaotic struggle while the hypnotic arrangement<br />

keeps us in blinding awe as to its condition. TUSSLE-<br />

MUSCLE is composed of 7,000 single frames, which<br />

were appropriated from view-master reel cells. Each<br />

frame was hand-spliced to create a linear film-strip.<br />

Jacob Long created the score.<br />

›Time is constantly moving within a framework of units<br />

and this irrepressible motion is the nexus of human experience‹-<br />

S.C. Working to create a resonating interval,<br />

Steve Cossman re-structures familiar sequences<br />

within a patterned visual language causing the viewer<br />

to give thought to established perceptional relationships.<br />

Eternity, mortality and the fragility of nature are<br />

common themes in his work. He currently lives and<br />

works in Brooklyn NY.<br />
