She’s Never Coming Back, Video Art, 1920 X 1080, 2021 – https://vimeo.com/393795627
克里斯·奥尔森深思熟虑、具有挑衅性的作品经常探索和剖析我们对时间的记忆——我们如何感知、制定、编辑和策划我们自己的现实。他的电影和视频利用听觉、视觉和体验拼贴,从与亲密和陌生人的对话片段,到画外音、档案图像、从别处找到的镜头和管弦乐声音设计。克里斯勤奋而敏感地探索他自己的死亡——活着意味着什么,如果有的话,以及在不知道生命的确切意义的情况下,我们如何选择在所有事物中展示自己平凡的荣耀。
Ohlson’s thoughtfully provocative work often explores and dissects our memory of time—how we perceive, formulate, edit and curate our own reality. His films and videos make use of auditory, visual, and experiential collage—from snippets of conversations with intimates and strangers, to voiceover, archival imagery, found footage and orchestral sound design. Chris works diligently and sensitively at exploring his own mortality—the what, if anything, it means to be alive, and how in the not-knowing-precisely-the-meaning-of-our-lives, we choose to present ourselves in all our manifest and mundane glory.
