Adad Hannah

Russian Flowers (Edition of 5), 37 min, Canada, 2011–2014

Adad Hannah is interested in the way the photographic moment is performed for a camera and his works often take the form of video-recorded tableaux vivants. Through his videos and photographs he explores the nexus of photography, video, and performance and how the human body occupies this space. Adad Hannah has produced commissioned projects for museums around the world and been exhibited and collected widely.

Proizvedeni u ruskom selu oko Sankt Peterburga snimci pokazuju vremensko kretanje kroz promene boje u momentu kad vetar duva preko cveća i insekati dolaze i odlaze. Zasnovane na ranim tehnikama fotografije u boji Sergeja Prokudin-Gorskiija (1863–1944) u prvim godinama 20. veka, Adad Hana filtrira svetlost u svoje crvene, zelene i plave komponente pre nego što ih ponovo spoji. Ovaj jednostavan proces rezultira složenim, lepim i vremenski izdvojenim slikama koje se fokusiraju na suptilne pokrete lišća, trave i cveća, kao i protok samog vremena.
