Gary Hill Documentary Response

Gary Hill had an interesting philosophy towards his work and the art that he created. I like his strobe light project with the wall and saying phrases. He creates a materiality feeling with the flashes of light. It sort of brings them to life. He also makes a physical connection between body and the wall. In a sense, the language is 'illuminated' when the strobe light flashed. Some of his other projects were a little out there and I didn't like them that much. I wasn't a fan of the nonsense themed projects. I didn't feel the bathroom floor and nude setting was appropriate for the concept in my opinion. I did appreciate that he took time for himself and went surfing. It turned out to be inspiring to him, which I liked.
