Gompf will premiere “Parade: The Absolute End of the World” which has been nearly eight years in the making. Reminiscent of Hieronymus Bosch’s “The Garden of Delights,” this animation consisting of approximately eighteen thousand individual frames incorporates over two thousands individual animated elements and hundreds of digitally manipulated, recombined and reanimated of Eadweard Muybridge’s photographic motion studies (and a few of Etienne Jules Marey’s and Lucien Bull’s) from the late 19th century. This work, when viewed with special viewing glasses, pops into 3D via the Pulfrich Effect.
Gompf’s artwork is a multifaceted construct which centers around a series of mixed media sculptures made from found objects, which appear to be authentic examples of image transmission devices from the Televisor Era 1889-1928. Each faux device is accompanied by a label of equally faux information which explains the country of origin, name of inventor, and its importance in the early development of the television medium.
Each device displays on its view screen animations constructed from digitally manipulated images from the late nineteenth century.
