Transcendence , 2010, by Shuli Sadé 60 photographic panels of 20 x 20 Inches each, printed on duraclear, fused glass/acrylic, natural light/ suspended to create moving shadows
“Tran.scen.dence completes a cycle of the envisioned and the built. It Effectively bridges photography, installation, and architecture, in ways that resonate across recent art, current building practices, and the incisive vision of the artist herself. Sade is a timely artisan; she shows us that the project of modernism remains unfinished, even if it needs constant renewal.” -Jonathan Goodman, Sculpture magazine, 2010 Tran·scen·dence: ex·ceed·ance /sur·pass·ing Extracted from hundreds of photographs documenting the construction of a new building, the art piece suggests contemplation on the complete sequence of events resulting in the newly built. Each image is composed of multiple layers of photographs. Apart from the basic grid upon which the images are placed, no order is designated to the reading of the installation. Transcendence recognizes the ongoing and profound relationship between landscape and architecture. Each photograph manifests a subtle, shifting transition from day- break to twilight time. Marks of time are imprinted in the structural images, revealing nature as it cycles the seasons throughout the duration of the construction. The photographs use levels of transparency/opacity to highlight a timeline in transition: The time when the photograph was taken, juxtaposed to signs of present time, manifested by actual shadows which are created by each panel. The shadow s echo Transcendence and temporariness, marking the present moment. My serial photographs create an abstract narrative that gradually unfolds from within a horizontal and vertical grid, capturing time, as a fluid event witnessed through close observation. -Shuli Sadé, New York, 2010 Transcendence , 2010 60 units of 20 x 20 Inches suspended color transparent photographs on duraclear, fused glass/acrylic, natural light/shadow
