Journeys to Places Known and Unknown:
Moving Images by Janet Biggs and peter campus
October 16, 2022 - January 15, 2023
Journeys to Places Known and Unknown looks at the contrasting ways two artists of different generations—Janet Biggs and peter campus—use moving images to explore intersections of science, philosophy, and spirituality. Their works speak to how humans can experience time as both progressive and immediate. Rather than embracing a singular, universal concept, these artists are inspired by the Greek concept of time as a mystery, encompassing two elements: kronos (time as duration, a straight line from past toward future) and kairos (time as mystical, circular, without beginning or ending).
For Biggs and campus, time is a platform on which to construct a sense of place that melds awareness of a specific location and its elusive inner nature. Their portrayals of journeys—to places close to home or in the far reaches of the world—bring opposing realities into a unified whole. Blending observation and introspection through imagery, patterns and rhythms, movement, and sound, each offers reports from the visible world as springboards for personal and universal reflection.
