                          THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE

                                                                 JOHANNA REICH

A title that already has in itself the sense of the dialectic of opposites. The presence of absence means our perception of reality. Johanna Reich is a video artist who "works in the field of video performance and experimental video" made of single sequence. It reflects on the fragility of the passing of time and existential aspects of the relationship of humans with the surrounding world. The art is nothing from us but it is our existence in relation to what surrounds us. Art is the time for action, is the representation of its operation in real time. "I'm more interested in the process of making art investigator and our ways of understanding the production of a finished object." The presence of absence is a boundary of knowledge is a state of mind, is the certainty of what we are and the curiosity of the unknown, research is continuing. E 'state of mind that is projected in color, which comes into harmony with reality. The color is an emotional state that is external, in which the artist identifies himself up to be confused with it. The artist paints the mondo con i colori che indossa che sono il limite della sua personale percezione delle cose, oltre il quale si aprono nuovi orizzonti. Una percezione che a volte si esprime nel dualismo tra la rilassante luminosità del bianco e la profondità della concentrazione del nero. Una perfetta armonia degli opposti, una fusione del limite tra due modi estremi di percepire le cose, sino all’identificazione in questa unità. Una identificazione di natura filosofica che avviene nella realtà “a causa delle condizioni di luce perché la foto camera non può distinguere tra il nero della persona e quello dello sfondo”. Per un illusionismo dell’immagine, la persona sembra scomparire di fronte all’obiettivo della video camera. "Living in times of ubiquity of moving images, I decided to use the digital video camera as my main tool to understand but also to question the relationship between human beings and the virtual world" ... "to understand our perception of reality. " A reflection on the limits and possible roles of our being in the world.
