But there\u2019s a disconnect: we clearly see both the real can \ufb01lled with black paint and its ghostly analogue, but where is the palm tree that seems to be casting its shadow on the wall, an image that sways gently to and fro before our eyes? Why do we not feel the breeze? Object and shadow, material and image fail to cohere. Of course, the tree is a projection, a video animation. Yet this relatively straightforward amalgam of object and video can provoke deep re\ufb02ection on art and art theory. Fishkin shows us some basic elements of painting \u2014 light, shadow, and colour \u2014 then puts them back together in a way that produces a picture, to be sure, but one that contradicts itself. At the same time, Fishkin lightly touches on the ancient question of whether art imitates nature. Yes, says the image of a tree. No, says the image when it speaks as a shadow that lacks a \u2018natural\u2019 cause.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Astrid Mania, Artforum, review of the exhibition \u2018Light matters 2\u2019, 2012<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>,   projection, bucket, variable dimensions <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":110,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-109","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home-slider","category-works"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vadimfishkin.si\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vadimfishkin.si\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vadimfishkin.si\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vadimfishkin.si\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vadimfishkin.si\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=109"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/vadimfishkin.si\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1546,"href":"https:\/\/vadimfishkin.si\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109\/revisions\/1546"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vadimfishkin.si\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/110"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vadimfishkin.si\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vadimfishkin.si\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vadimfishkin.si\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
