Artist Statement
I am an undergraduate student at the Memphis College of Art, concentrating on Photography, and more recently filmmaking. Stalemate is an exploration of the psychology of two central characters. The first; a man who derives his knowledge of the metaphysical world through use of theory, sees the world through the pages of his book. The second derives his understanding from experience, throwing himself deep within the grasp of the natural world. The film attempts to study this split, depicting the two characters meeting for a game of chess, which results in a stalemate; showing that one process of cognitive progression does no supersede another.
Synopsis
Dichotomy between theory and experience. Two characters wander, seeking truth within their worlds. Each with opposing means of discovery. Each with a common destination; a game of chess.
