Synopsis
Underbelly is the attempt to capture a dream-like sequence through film. Drifting into sleep, our opening sequence quickly borrows the quality of a conscious to subconscious transition. Fractured narratives combining memories and imagination develop into a dreamscape which the audience experiences through the eyes of the the dreamer.
As memories and conscious begin to intertwine and we journey through the dreamscape, something doesn’t appear to be quite right. Camouflaged with seemingly familiar identities, an outside presence is detected by the dreamer. This presence is searching the subconscious realm of the dreamer for something abstract, it takes the form of a blue light, a psychological battle of wits ensues as the dreamer attempts to control the dream and protect the location of the light source from the intruder.

After making making ‘perpetual motion’, came this body of work started. Using the video medium for its best properties and combining them with ideas and methodologies borrowed from classic Iconography, Gabriel began a series of outdoor projections in two separate locations for his ‘Another World in the Dark” project as part of Penangs’ Georgetown Festival 2016′
Gabriel’s primary aim was to start to re introduce this classic way of embodying narrative around building a new symbolic language.
Curiosity and commitment to engage once again is what is needed for this work to become interpreted by audience members, and without that spark of curiosity, audience members can potentially remain feeling underwhelmed.
Hundreds of years ago when the majority of the population were predominantly illiterate, this was the primary means of communication. An old language behind iconography once stood which presented images which audiences were required to think about. By taking symbols, interpreting their meanings with the surrounding composition audience members were engaged in decrypting messages or ideas.
A snake traditionally could be a used as a deceitful evil symbol, or a a symbol of wisdom and cunningness; if to be used positively for example.
Well known artworks Nemesis and Melancholia by Durer, are infused with narrative to be interpreted by the onlooker. Historians have interpreted and re – interpreted the meanings behind some of his works for centuries, creating an aura of mystery and curiosity about the artist’s intention.
This is the kind of interaction between artist and audience which seems to be so absent in our contemporary environment which Gabriel wishes to re-kindle.
Without questioning and curiosity, there can not be new developments in our ways of thinking – as art from the Enlightenment period aimed to do.
If not to provoke thinking and understanding, what has become of the role of the artist today?

Gabriel is interested in revisiting these acute moments of con- sciousness, he looks for understanding by contrasting them with the widely
accepted, undisturbed interpretations, of ‘reality’.
Using video for its ability to capture time and realism seamlessly, Gabriel manipulates recordings of these moments to create time- less warped dimensions. These sequences are an attempt to both nd and o er new perspectives while the audience question the narrative trapped in their dream-like state.
Curiosity is the catalyst required for this work to come to life.
The installation requires the commitment of the participant to fully engage and explore the artists intent; if the viewer refuses to leave their comfort zone.. the experience, like consciousness; remains dormant.
A Statement about the Work by the Artist:
I wanted to create a meeting point of two dimensions, our accepted reality which we experience rst hand (represented on the screen) and another more voyeuristic perspective which the installation provides. The latter becomes almost an alternate reality, the viewer is transformed into an invisible entity observing the intricacies of the ‘moment’ beyond the physical. How is the viewer left feeling when given this insight? Does it give them a sense of empowerment? Or does it allow an opportunity to see and question their own vulnerabilities if metaphorically, the digital world is a refection of our actual perceived reality?

A place void of boundaries, Perpetual Motion appeals to the space out- side of our human understanding of time.
Gabriel creates a voyeuristic platform to observe a sequence of images via video installation, digitally looped tapestries of dream-like perspec- tives in motion. Accepted interpretations of ‘reality’ and ‘time’ are brought into question, confronting the viewer with moments of recognition, sharply contrasted with abstract confusion.
An exploration of portraiture in its purest sense; Gabriel explores the space between photography, lm and painting. Beyond still life, his moments are manipulated to twitch and breathe as we come to realise their incarceration within the everlasting cycle …a living ‘moment’ with no discernible beginning, middle or end
Through Gabriel’s lens, these otherwise unremarkable moments be- come immortal.
