The Poetry of Imaging Procedures deliberately plays with contradiction. The title borrows the vocabulary of technology — a dry, clinical term that evokes laboratories, measurement, and control. Yet in this work, that language is gently recoded into something poetic: an “imaging procedure” that produces no clear data but fleeting, breathing visual phenomena.

For the piece, I loosely attached a thin sheet of painter’s foil to an overhead projector and directed a fan toward it from a distance. The moving air set the foil trembling, rippling, quivering — transforming the projector, a device designed for clarity and stability, into an instrument of chance. The projection surface came alive: waves of light, distortions, and shifting movements emerged, fragile images that waver between control and unpredictability.

It is precisely the contrast between the technical term and the poetic effect that defines the work. The piece explores how a rigid, purpose-built apparatus — a tool intended for accurate representation — can become a source of aesthetic uncertainty.
