Wealth of Not Seeing: On Interruptions, Voids, and Spaces Between Images

Abstract

In a fifteen minute online lecture-dialogue, Patrick Ceyssens and Toon Leën exchange ideas on the use of interruption as a stylistic device. Both artists share a fascination for the space between images. They look for moments of transition, moments in between the action, gaps that are meaningful, blind spots that are revealing,… While using interruption as an essential element in their own dialogue, they trace the effects of interruptions on our perception with regard to two seemingly unrelated topics: our experience of landscapes and the visualisation of military coups.
