SPECIAL CALL - EXHIBITION
When Light Takes Form
2022
Video
Joe Cimino is a time-based media artist whose work investigates what familiar materials and nostalgic feelings reveal about human perception and how they play a role in determining what goes unnoticed. In his work, Cimino often breaks down the conventions of the familiar formats he uses: Such as a series of film trailers that never amount to a final movie, a sound artwork that utilizes the podcast format to question its existential narrative, or a film reminiscent of a documentary that focuses on the memories embedded in a home shown by light taking form in a contained space. Through audiovisual and time-based works, Cimino brings the background to the foreground, asking us to see beyond the regular and to reflect upon the hidden histories of what goes unnoticed.
