Infinite Collapse as Explored by Arian Camilleri
Saturday September 25, 2010 |
 Arian Camilleri is a Brooklyn based photographer who aims to address and explore the concepts of creation and infinity in his photographs. Expanding and collapsing in an almost infinitely hypnotic manner, his new series is mesmerizing.
The fluid seems to rush towards you, then almost off the page; the unknown substances are perplexing and exciting. This is free movement captured.
The ethereal quality of these images could land one’s mind anywhere from underwater to a landscape horizon, and even outer space. Like cloud formations in the sky, the choice and destination is ever-changing, left to the viewer to decide.
In Camilleri’s statement he writes:
“No one will ever see these the same way. Everyone will have a different interpretation. It could be any multitude of emotions. I feel like art has that potential. For me this work gives me inspiration and has that aspect of the universe, the stars, and creation—of moments that are beyond your control—and each of these are of a kind I can never duplicate again. It’s just like everything on this planet—every snowflake, every person, every star, everything we know, it’s all impermanent. I’m just hoping to document this one instant and take someone out of their world for just a few moments and inspire that awe of awareness that infinity exists.”
