HOW TO DISAPPEAR COMPLETELY / POEM # 5
Fotografia Analogica, Sacro / Mitologico, Analogica, 34x23cm
Eldagsens’ work explores metaphysical to erotic aspects of a timeless human phenomenon – the urge to lose oneself. In referring to this phenomenon as either ‘Mysticism’ (religion), ‘Transpersonality’ (psychology), ‘Desire to Escape’ (Aldous Huxley) or ‘Transgression’ and ‘Unproductive Consumption of the Surplus’ (Georges Bataille), there has always been a redemptive mode to being human.
This redemption can come in a positive or negative form, upward or downward – as we can all disappear into something larger or smaller: religion. drugs, mass events, love, sex, extreme sports, hypnosis etc.
The series how to disappear completely explores this human phenomenon.
THE POEMS consist of staged and non-staged photography and video. Influenced by my ongoing research on the topic, they stand for themselves like poems. Light is not only used as the basic means of photography but as a central symbolic subject.
