Face in Motion
Overview
Face in Motion depicts Chang Chao-Tang from the shoulders up, dressed in a light tank top, shaking his head and contorting his face. The background is pitch black, and he is lit with an almost otherworldly glow. The artist recorded at two frames per second, rather than the typical twenty-four, speeding up the erratic movement. He occasionally flips upside down or appears in blue and green colourised layers on top of the colourless original. A high-intensity electronic track, ‘Pulstar’, by the Greek musician Vangelis, accompanies the video and accentuates its volatile energy.

His first feature, Miss Wonton (2001), won the FIPRESCI Prize at the Locarno International Film Festival.

Ordinary people of both sexes, and of varying ages, races and ethnicities, tell stories that sound familiar. But each is a construct to plumb reality in a considered, theoretical, and, ultimately, playful fashion, as Delson continues the filmic experimentation begun during her collaboration with Jill Godmilow an the genre-bending Far from Poland.

A ritual of grids, reflections and chasms; a complete state of entropy; a space that devours itself; a vertigo that destroys the gravity of the Earth; a trap that captures us inside the voids of the screen of light: «That blank arena wherein converge at once the hundred spaces» (Hollis Frampton).
