Hugo Ball at the Cabaret Voltaire, Zurich, 1916
photographer unknown
Moses
My patch is called Moses, it composes haiku poetry, or rather, recomposes the lines of poetry that are available to it in response to an image.
The images used are all sourced from the internet and have no known photographer. In selecting these images I am interested in the idea of a deficient human element. Found images can sometimes feel personal to us and the narrative elements reveal themselves quickly. At the same time, an everyday or observed feeling reminds us that we can detach ourselves from them and their subjects quite readily.
The text being used is sourced from Japanese haiku poetry, translated into English. The poets include Buson (1715-1783), Basho (1644-1694), and Buson (1715-1783) and other major poets to make use of the Haiku.
Traditionally, the Haiku presents a contrast or a 'cutting' aspect, including the juxtaposiition of text and image.
