Ontic
, by DE KJ (oqko)
Ontic is an audiovisual study of the
relationship between nature and structure;
the acquired concept of “environment” and
how its preservation extends further than the
physical medium.
Through the intervention of abandoned spaces
and structures by the use of natural sources,
the project aims to question the influence
of the political in the social, therefore, our
presuppositions towards an actual fake sense
of consciousness. Ontic is based on video
recordings of natural places, projected on
abandoned buildings. The sound source
works as part of the actual score, while the
venue where the piece is presented works
as a performance and a screening through
modulating the actual sound of the venue and
the one coming from the video recordings.
The footage itself is part of an archive
conformed by a different analysis for this
dialogue between apparent opposite scenarios.
