- ‘Outside the Frame’ is a 5000-word book chapter that reflects on Hock’s lens-based practice-as-research as a case study to explore the relation between still and very slow-moving image, with reference to memory. This enquiry asks: how can still and moving imagery attest to the memory or past of an environment, alongside recording the present moment in which it was taken? The work questions how duration, editing and the ‘interlude’ activate the viewer’s own past experience/memory whilst encountering lens-based representations of landscape. Emotive perception does not always correspond with physical perception: this causes a rupture/friction resulting in the creation of a space for the imaginary. The originality of this enquiry lies in insights gained through the development of an innovative methodology and new way of expression generated by the synthesis of two independent media (photography and film), questioning expectations and assumptions of these media, and of memory itself.
The chapter draws on fieldwork undertaken through research residencies at Vilm Island, Baltic Sea, Germany, (2014/15) as part of a postdoctoral research fellowship funded by DAAD, following application and selection, including exhibition at Generatorhaus Gallery Vilm. It builds on previous lens-based enquiry from ‘Stille Fragmente’, an Arts Council funded research project resulting in exhibition at Lakeside Galleries, Nottingham. The chapter’s arguments were developed in: ‘Giving Pause’, an article in the peer-reviewed digital publication “Contemphoto ’15” (Istanbul); ‘A space for the unspeakable’, paper presented at the international conference “Mood –Aesthetic, Psychological and Philosophical Perspective” (Warwick University, 2016); and through exhibition, e.g. Wirksworth Festival, 2016.
The chapter’s selection followed participation in an international conference, and peer review. It is the only artistic-practice-based contribution in this publication, which includes contributions from prominent historians and theoreticians, including R.Shusterman, E.Domenach and O.Hadouchi.
