Fourteen test prints from TIND’s studio are to be shown at VOID, hanging in the space as a minimal installation of colour and paper. Seven pairs of prints, corresponding to the Seven Lucky Gods of Japanese folklore; the gods who inspired the first Matryoshka dolls; the dolls who reminded us of the layers of images on TIND’s test prints; the images hidden in each print waiting to be discovered by the viewer. Projected on the wall, details from the prints are shown in large size, exploding the complexities of these images and the accidental, alchemical reactions of colour, material, form and meaning on them.
Images 1 & 2 Each test print is a mesh of images, a cloud of stories. The shapes in this cloud constantly shift and move from one layer to the other, creating new shapes, exposing new connections. The randomness of these images negates authorship, but at the same time retains the distinct identity of each layer — crisp yet illogical like a lucid dream. Not surprisingly, “The Cloud Atlas” is one of TIND’s favourite recent movies.
