About The Artwork

Action no.5 relates specifically to my long history as a Performance artist. Ideas about the relationship between the moving and the static continue to be at the centre of these works. This individual work taken from a series of 10 photographic self-performed pieces is intended to suggest movement yet contradict it. ‘I wanted to attempt to suggest movement with these works but also to deny movement due to the fact it is a static printed image’. So, notions of time and action make up this self-portrait. This relationship between performance, using digital techniques were an ideal fit for achieving my artistic aims. ‘He has encountered profound meaning in the indigenous people’s art beliefs and rituals in America and Australia that has influenced his work. His digital Action prints reference notions of 'Dreamtime', a belief common across cultures, that refers to time as a beginning that never ends and is a continuum of past, present and future’. Nina Colosi, Director, Streaming Museum, New York City 30 x 20 inches this photographic digital artwork is printed using special high quality archival paper and inks. It has a white border around the image to enhance its affect. It is shipped and rolled securely in a shipping roll. LIMITED EDITION of 25 only

Marty St. James is known as a pioneer of the framed video portrait and works in a range of contemporary media including performance art, photography, digital video and drawings. He lives and works in London and France. His best-known work is the The Swimmer, a multi-screen installation in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery, London. In 2000, his video work Boy Girl was presented in the benchmark exhibition with master artists from each year of the 20th century at National Portrait Gallery. St James’ performative and sculptural video work acknowledges portraiture’s function as a ‘map’ of our relationship with ourselves and the wider world. The intimate, human-focus of his art can be interpreted as a theoretical reflection of the contemporary person existing under the influence of modern technological systems that are affecting human consciousness. St James has travelled the world and has held artist-in-residence commissions in Russia, China, Australia and Antarctica, where he has found a deeper understanding of humanity for his own art practice. He has encountered profound meaning in the indigenous people’s art beliefs and rituals in America and Australia that has influenced his work. His digital prints and video art work Oneiric reference notions of 'Dreamtime', a belief common across cultures, that refers to time as a beginning that never ends and is a continuum of past, present and future. Nina Colosi, Director, Streaming Museum, New York City
