A current ongoing developing photographs dealing with interpersonal, internature, photograph series.
Along with the modern ruin series, it is also a continuation of working with streams of conciousness, poetic abstractions of words as meaning-signifiers, and words as codes, codes as signs: both indivisual and universal.
So the photos, seen close, become a 'human bodily landscape', where these interknotting codes words start to emnerge clearer and clearer, yet at the same time open another, perhaps wider, 'view' of the photographic pictorial interpretations.
as if the thought process in the brain waves revealing virbating as waking dreams crawling out of the conciousness.
In total, it will be a installation photographic 'walls' for the viewers to go thru, plus the animated videos audios.

Modern Ruin Series

2008-10-02T08:38:00.000-07:00

These photos are from a new series I am developing called "Modern Ruins".
The first series is named "Asteres Planeti".

Some photos are taken off once-flourished-now-defunkted buildings such as salt factory, hospital, ect.
These photos will be later on collage-rized to finalize the image.

For example, Asteres Planeti no. 1 is a collaged image jaxposed with night photo of modern buildings, and varied light bodies, such as moon, random star, street lights, ect.
And,
within the photo, there are somewhat-unrecognizable texts written like the style of old Chinese Scrolls on the side, almost like a secret codes.
These "codes" written in a poetic haiku-like way allows us to have a peek into the future.
Thus, ancient links with the present onto the future.
I also imagine we will become one of these ligt bodies when we die, and it is the way we become infinite and eternal..
The viewers are surrounded by these partially asymmetrical balck photographs while seeing their own motality reflected back..

I have always wondered how our time will be looked at many years after this time has passed.
What will people in the future see us?
What are the remains?
Is there any remain at all now technology is all digitized and datas images codified?

It is thru these photos that I investigate these questions and hope to shed some lights thru darkness.

About the Photos

Movements speeds thru imaginations; Breathing living thru life flows.

Thank you all for visiting my photo page.

I would like to share some thoughts on large-sized and small-sized machines that we all use daily such as cameras and laptops, that I use here artistically:

Modern technology has taken away much human basic senses from people.

Everyone is focused entirely on one sensory experience, which often times the visual, computer screens, tv, cinema, ads, ect ect.

I often think the farmers who often have to look around more and tend to different aspects of changes in nature in order to care for crops, are much more in tune with their senses than most of us,
whose sensory experiences are hypered, but not neccessarily heightened.

Most ppls experiences are very frontally oriented:
what we choose to eat and how we eat it, our relationships, our ways of absorbing the life itself.
Everything is singularized into two dimensional large flat screen sized operations.

In my recent years of employing more and more technological devices,
I must say that, what really interests me is not what the technology can do to refine my artistic products, but to see if I can use it in a transparent way that can enable the artistic experiences ppl have with my artwork becoming a gateway of expansion on senses.

For example, in the past year or so, I have started to do performative installation pieces where ppls senses were deprived, as if one or two senses they normally rely on were taken away from them, that they had to call out to other sensory devices in their bodies to somehow make sense of the immensity, or the confusion, or both.

In creating different experiencial "space" and "time", it also alters frames of patterns of perception.

So, shifting of perspectives and shifting of objectivity and subjectivity interest me not only in terms of philosophical approach but also in terms of artistical foundation.

To search for humanity in our century thru the hybrid of our souls and the machines eyes..

About me

This is the Photo Blog of Delphine-Kini Mae.

Most photos here have been taken either for a project such as a part of installation.
Or as Performantive Photos.
With earlier works, sometimes I used myself as subject and photographed it first then altered it into digital collageworks as a metaphor for under disguise or a artificial mask of sorts in society.

All self portraits were taken by myself with a handheld camera.

Photos here dated from 2006 till present, although performantive photos started from 2002 in USA.

Delphine is a freelance photo artist, photo subject, and assiatant second camera woman at the kunstraumgestaltung.

She is currently working with other photographers on the theme of Photo Series with multiple exposure and movement sequencing as well as experiemtal photo/live poem vocals to live sound with other sound artists.

Aside from being a photographer Miss Mae has been working mainly as a performer, visual artist, director, and educator for videos and films.
