> DESCRIPTION
Daniel Hug is pleased to present an installation by Lucas Adjemian in the project room of the gallery. This is Lucas Ajemian’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles. In Ajemian's installation,Untitled Capture 2007, A 16mm film is produced using a flatbed scanner. A digital video camera is scanned from several angles while recording the process in real time; the flashes of light, the slow pan of the the scanner's ray across the walls of the room. Like many of Ajemian's recent works, this piece straddles two different yet related media, literally playing them off one another. If it is a dialogue, it is one that is as empty, yet simultaneously as resonant as that of two eyes engaged in a standoff. Ajemian is recording the very act of recording, it's nuance and discrepancies in duration. The circularity of this gesture is echoed in the installation itself, the first projector casting its image on the pedestal propping the second projector.The simplicity is deceptive, a mirrored abyss whose muteness contrasts eloquently with the cacophonous flux of images produced by the very media it engages with.
Lucas Ajemian's work has been exhibited at The Palais de Tokyo, Paris, Friedricianum, Kassel. He is represented by Galeri Kirkhoff in Copenhagen, DK and Galerie Parisa Kind in Frankfurt, DE . Lucas Ajemian works and lives in New York, NY.
