Scope and content
In Holobomo, images and sounds are borrowed from blank-and-white films in order to compose a new narrative. Video artist Owen Eric Wood takes this material from the work of Toronto-based filmmaker Mike Hoolboom, who regularly employs the act of appropriation in the construction his films. As such, Holobomo is a second-generation appropriation, raising issues of the degradation of meaning as images are taken out of context and recycled. The artist projects moving images on himself and a sculpture of himself to bridge the gap between two-dimensional image and three-dimensional space. In so doing he asks viewers to consider their own relationship with images and how images influence memory, perception and the way we experience life.
