CELESTE JULIET ON DAVID ROSETZKY

I hope no one else has covered this guy...

he featured in an article responding to an essay published in an early issue of the journal (this article was in Artlink: vol 26, no 1 2006) and the image that I really liked was by david rosetzky. A lot of his work seems to be images of physical collage. For example, he may take a photo, print it and work it into or work into it with it's surroundings. I find this particularly interesting. He has also done a lot of video work in which his characters act in a similar way, they are worked into the surroundings, they are confinding are emotionally responsive in a space, spitting (in a way) their emotion into an area, it is hard for me to describe, you might 'get it' if you think back to the video installation during the festival of arts at the beginning of the year, I'm pretty sure that his work was the video installation with two characters in the video fading in and out, mindlessly talking emotively...

Anyway, that was his. It was called David Rosetzky Maniac De Luxe, a 2 channel DVD which went for 14min 32 sec. here's a small reminder:



also some other works not on video of his include


Commune 2003, type C photograph, composition board, flexible lighting product

The image I liked (from thIS ARTLINK) was called 'Self Defence (Sarah)', I couldn't find any images of it. like the above image it was a thick image of a pale girl near a small television. her image was pierced ith holes and through them delicately carved and placed branches poked through, as she sat amongst them. It is beautiful...
