Response: Stacey’s “Tom Sachs’ Tea Ceremony”

In Stacey’s post, mentions Tom Sach’s work in regards to the uncanny and the human act of reproduction. There is “joy and horror in recognizing something eerily familiar”.
This was exactly my experience with the photogrammetry workshop! By prefacing the workshop by thinking about still life, I was able to connect to painters and sculptors, in a way I hadn’t before. The act of freezing time, and holding a created object/image as an representation of that moment or average or sequential moments. Stacey mentions Sach’s work having a human touch that “leaves each element sort of “perfectly imperfect” and totally uncanny, just like the real thing but somehow more human.”
While perhaps less human, a photogrammetry still life is in the same valley for sure. What could be perceived as a photo of an object can be slightly thrown off be some artifacting, or even the ability to orbit the object digitally. It is relatable and real, but more digital and eerily familiar.
