Description
“Conceptual and analytical, Danny Matthijs uses polaroid, photography and video in the most neutral way possible. The discovery of structure takes precedence over aesthetic concerns. In the case of 9 + 1, using a closed television circuit on two monitors, Matthijs interacts on the video image and the polaroid, knowing that 9 polaroids are equivalent to the surface of a monitor. This video by Matthys could be considered an example of what Rosalind Krauss calls indexical art. A video is an index, a record of something that happened. A photograph is also an index. By combining the two, Matthys adds another dimension to the idea of an index”. (Source: Jean-Michel Botquin)
