Inadequate Narration

Inadequate Narration

In this work, mathematics and geometry, and Maryam Mirzakhani’s theory of counting simple geodesic on hyperbolic surfaces, which has inspired the development of this form, have been used to challenge the nature of the narrative image- to make a straight line, make its way around a circle and pass through two holes in the shortest time. In this work, the line gives way to the narrative, which proceeds its way in a long linear continuum and returns to the starting point in the shortest time. The narration will not be readable despite the linear continuity due to the disruption and space/time intervals. In the end, despite the visual continuity, the narrative has no beginning or end. Looking at an event from different angles can disrupt the grand narrative, so there is no straightforward story.
