As mentioned previously, I’ve begun work on the Acedia project. I’ve been commissioned by the fashion designer Sample Remix, working alongside producer and DJ deadman dj (who has done a sterling job on the sound design for the teaser trailer).
The film and performance will be premiered on the 10th October, in Camden. There is a photoshoot in a couple of weeks so I’ll make sure to put up the press release and some of the shots from the photoshoot.
Levi van Veluw is a multidisciplinary artist, living and working in the Netherlands. I came across his work a good few months ago now and was struck by it’s ability to present a tactility to simple presentation. His work is afaik all self portrait based being both expressive and introspective. He is a one man process.
His works constitute elemental transfers – modifying the face as object – combining it with other stylistic elements to create a third visual object with a large visual impact. The work you see therefore is not a portrait, but an information-rich image of colour, form, texture, and content. The image contains the history of a short creative process, with the artist shifting between the entities of subject and object.
