PORTFOLIO - Adad Hannah, Surface Tension
On the very threshold of immobility, Adad Hannah’s works are initially interpreted by our eyes as being static images – only to eventually reveal subtle movements that betray their nature as works of video rather than of still photography.
Recalling a history of negotiated relationships between the static and moving image, these revelations of movement cause us to scan his still images for discreet signs of motion and life.
