The Thousands

Figuratively speaking, if a space is empty, a void, it could essentially be filled with anything – possible or impossible. So really, the impossible ceases to exist.

A self described "painter of space", Yves Klein believed in the void as a nirvana-like state without mundane pressures. He painted the form without the content, a painting without the picture, and in turn escaped the constraints of space, by essentially not using it.**Paying homage to Klein, Sam Smith escapes spatial constraints. He does so through the magic of video production, freed by the possibilities of blue and green screens. The result reveals and reflects on the illusionary paradoxes enabled by digital fimmaking.
