Tuesday Morning III, 2024Oil paint on plywood
20 x 15 cm
This oil painting is the third in a series based on a video clip accidentally captured by a passerby in Manhattan on September 11, 2001. It portrays the moment just before a jetliner crashes into the World Trade Center. The shaky footage, with its 25 frames per second limitation, only offers a brief and unclear glimpse of the event. Though images of this specific moment are missing, countless depictions of the aftermath dominate our memory. In this piece, the artist imagines and recreates the instant before impact. Unlike the first two works in the series, this painting is simplified, focusing only on the essential elements of the event. It was a clear Tuesday morning. A jetliner streaked across Manhattan, and in the next moment, the world was forever changed.
这幅油画是根据 2001 年 9 月 11 日一名路人在曼哈顿偶然捕捉到的视频片段所创作的系列的第三张，描绘了一架喷气式客机即将撞向世贸中心的场景。由于路人没有预料到事件的发生，这个关键的画面只能被摇晃的摄像机一瞥记录下来，而每秒 25 帧的技术限制也使得画面内容无法清晰呈现。整个世界缺少描绘这一刻的画面，但却充满了之后的画面。因此，艺术家发挥想象力，重现了撞击前的那一刻。在系列的前两张呈现了的调查和想象画面内容之后，这张画缩小了画幅，减少了细节，只保留描绘事件的必要信息。那是一个星期二的早晨，天空格外晴朗。突然，一架喷气式客机从曼哈顿呼啸而过，下一秒，世界再也不一样了。
