I recently attended a dance and film performance called Eye Wash at Monkey Town put on by a handful of young film-makers using a type of media that was new to me. Each team of video artists took turns creating their own vivid cinematic experiments on the four huge screens which faced each other in the square room. We lounged on couches and sipped our drinks as the different artists used a segment of 30 minutes or so to say their piece.It seems the nature of the medium allows for split-second fracturing of images - a rapid-fire barrage of color and form - abstracted and rich in its implications. The artists interspersed representational imagery with unrecognizable bits of broken imagery to create feelings and hint at narratives.One artist in particular stood out in his approach. The last to perform, Sam Eye-am, worked mainly with theartical footage of a beautiful Indian woman. A celebration of feminine power and the lure of beauty, we were taken in by her dark, colorfully clad figure spinning elegantly across the beach. But what made this performance far superior to the others we had seen was the incorporation of yet another art form. The very actress who appeared on the massive screens, Rani Karnik was there before us dancing through the projections. She carried candles and explored ritualistic movements, spontaneously reacting to the impulsive flow of images all around her.The imagery shifted from bright colorful scenes, quiet and sensual, to sepia-toned and grainy renditions of the same model, indicating a sense of memory and nostalgia counterbalanced by the present appearance of the dancer. As the performance progressed the images on the screen became more and more loaded - we saw dropping bombs and maps of Iraq - we saw mushroom clouds and explosions bringing us from the peace of a quiet dance to the horrific reality of war. The dancer, continuing to react to the imagery surrounding her, became more intense, her body falling to the floor and writhing theatrically.It was a brillaint conclusion to an incredible evening of eye candy. The inclusion of the dancer brought the room to life and gave the audience something to hold on to. It was less a series of fractured images than a vivid improvisational experience - and exploration of emotion through beauty, fear and the balance between pleasure and pain.
