Out of Frame

Video Art | 2016

I had a project consisting of 6 video works titled Prologue. In these videos, I wanted to involve the audience in the running time. Actually I intended to make a capsule of time that audience is forced to abandon or at least ignore the time component. Also videos are of non-narrative nature. Since that project, I’ve been working on methods of narration during the past two years. Now, I mostly write and am considering including narration in my works. Out Of Frame is a prototype of these experiences. I tried to make semi-narrative using minimum narrative components. In fact a narrative which is not a narrative yet. I think for me, the process towards narrative in progress of my works is more important than achieving a tangible one. This was actually a removed part of Prologue which I returned to after two years and with new intention it became a separate video. One of the main components of this semi-narrative is what is happening outside the frame which in fact is a peripheral event.
