Tides and Bodies of Water:

BoingBoing draws attention to Amy Greenfield’s video work and the controversy of Youtube’s censure of her work. The work below comes from Amy Greenfield’s solo exhibition Untitled Nude curated by Lynn del Sol at {CTS} creative thriftshop in conjunction with Dam, Stuhltrager Gallery. Her show just closed this February 12th.

Throughout Greenfield’s films she focuses on the innate dignity of the human body. The themes of identity and meaning emerge in our common movements. Walking, falling, embracing, rolling, running, lifting, sliding are what she and her performers do in her films. For Greenfield the body, moving with, and against, the close up camera, can be the concrete image of inner human nature, an instrument for its expression, and a vessel containing images and actions that crystalize the meaning and mysteries of experience: memory and movement, the past and the present moment.1

The French poet, Paul Valery, noted that “The nude is for the artist what love is for the poet”
