On Feb 15, 2010 I attended the guest artist lecture of Paul Pfeiffer.
Pfeiffer's work consisted of appropriated films ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes in length played continuously on loops.
Pfeiffer's films are about 4"x5" in size giving forcing the viewer to have an intimate experience with the tiny screens.
"Tiny acclaimed films on dollhouse sized screens" Pfeiffer's works are surprisingly Solitary, Introspective, and contain Spiritual/Religious undertones.
Pfeiffer stated that his "video sculptures" were "akin" to paintings or photographs and that his goal in makings these mini films was not about making objects, but that it was psychological and it was up to the viewer's imagination to create the artwork within. All of Pfeieffer's work contained spiritual/religious undertones while also dealing with Identity, Race, and Sexual orientation.
