Greg Streak : Dreams in Red

"Streak cites Caravaggio's The Sacrifice of Isaac (1601-02) as a reference in Dreams in Red.The alizarin crimson that seeps beneath the prone figure is bloody; there is a moment where a hardly perceptible shift occurs, when expiration ceases and a hiatus occurs, a barely discernible instant of transition when outflow returns to inflow and the body appears to draw blood back into itself and the condition we presume is final is reversed. Here the intake of breath heard to resume at the end of the video marks a shift in perception signalling the possibility of rebirth." - Virginia Mackenny
