Resistance Domination Secret
Working in video, sculpture and event based practices, Mark Aerial Waller provides both an interpretation and interruption of cinema history. With recourse to technological and narrative mechanisms, Waller stretches, reiterates and at times perverts the mainstream vocabulary of structure and dramatic staging. All of Waller’s practice requires viewers to be alert interpreters, able to respond, evaluate, judge, transform and be transformed. Through multiple types of sensory elements and devices, spectators are forced to think about how they get implicated and destabilised. Spectatorship is shaped into a psychological event that places the decentralised subject back inside the social situation. He is also the founder of The Wayward Canon, a platform for event-based interventions in cinematic practices, where the screen acts as a vista around which the event occurs. For Cell Project Space Waller will present ‘Resistance Domination Secret’ first exhibited in Paris in 2008 and later screened at the ICA as part of the Nought to Sixty Programme.
