Mike Schneider :: Dream Before Going

Zucker Foundation of Contemporary Art, Osaka, Japan

The layers of time and place involved in the works of art presented engage the viewer in the complexity and awareness of the situation. It takes more than just visual or acoustic reception to understand the works, for they are synaesthetic, appealing simultaneously to the visual, acoustic and physical perceptions of the viewer and captivating in their precision, that is the transformations and the invented narratives through thousands of repetitive images. The starting point for Dream Before Going is the corner, 'the boundary between interior and exterior', between indoors and outdoors, between Conceptual and New, the title of the project captures the described image and concept. But the images themselves are distorted in ways quite unlike those made through microscopes; it takes more than just visual or acoustic reception to understand the works, for they are synaesthetic, appealing simultaneously to the visual, acoustic and physical perceptions of the viewer and captivating in their precision.
