There\u2019s a scene in Martine Syms<\/a>\u2019 feature-length film, Incense Sweaters & Ice<\/em> (2017) that\u2019s painfully awkward to watch. The protagonist, referred to simply as \u2018Girl\u2019 in the film\u2019s credits, sits on the sofa reading a book. The person sitting beside her, who I presume is her love interest, a man called \u2018WB\u2019 (\u2018white boy\u2019) \u2013 we can\u2019t see them \u2013 tries to take her picture. At first, she coyly laughs it off, playfully putting the book up to her face, giggling and saying how she doesn\u2019t like to pose. Eventually, she gives in \u2013 \u201cOK, I\u2019ll pose I guess\u201d \u2013 until she realises that they are actually videoing her. She glares at the camera in disbelief, before looking back at her book, but she\u2019s unable to concentrate now. \u201cSo, you\u2019re just like doing this just because? Or…?\u201d she asks the person with the camera, struggling to comprehend their actions. \u201cI can\u2019t really concentrate on [my book] when someone\u2019s filming me,\u201d Girl explains. \u201cIt\u2019s not really about you being quiet, it\u2019s the fact that you\u2019re filming me, I\u2019m very aware of you being here… that\u2019s the issue for me right now. So, just… stop, that would be great, thanks.\u201d<\/p>\n

This uncomfortable scene establishes some of the key themes that define the 30-year-old LA-based artist\u2019s practice, comprising video, installation, publishing (through her imprint Dominica which she founded in 2011) and performance. It hints at issues of surveillance and authority \u2013 what about the power dynamic of a white man videoing a black woman without her consent? \u2013 and highlights a world where it\u2019s sort of okay to hold up a camera to someone\u2019s face whether they\u2019ve agreed to it or not. It also presents a microcosm of another of Syms\u2019 motifs \u2013 how we perform and behave differently once a camera is held in front of us.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnything you do on camera is like a performance,\u201d Syms tells me over the phone. This is a central facet of her practice, one that she explores in the 69-minute film, which was originally shown in MoMA<\/a> last year and is currently on view at the Graham Foundation in Chicago<\/a>. The film follows Girl, a nurse played by the artist and choreographer Katherine Sim\u00f3ne Reynolds, as she travels for work from Los Angeles to Mississippi and navigates a burgeoning and ostensibly text-based relationship with WB. It\u2019s frequently intimate \u2013 a number of scenes document her naked grooming regime in the bathroom as well as private texts popping up on screen. It also provides a compelling insight into contemporary loneliness. Girl is seen frequently sitting on a wall in an empty parking lot texting while listening to meditation podcasts, dancing alone in a hotel room, and asking WB whether she will ever see him again. Interspersing the scenes with Girl (WB is only ever shown a handful of times as a small phone image in the corner of the screen), are sequences involving motivational coach and songstress Mrs. Queen Esther Bernetta White, played by jazz singer Fay Victor. Clad all in purple, in a luxurious, royally-purple room, Queen White sits at her piano, singing instructions on how one should carry themselves, waxing lyrical on the necessity of having \u201ca positive attitude\u201d and announcing that \u201cyou deserve to be seen\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":73133,"id":73133,"title":"SYMS_portrait_ Photo credit_Taylor Rainbolt.","filename":"SYMS_portrait_-Photo-credit_Taylor-Rainbolt..jpg","filesize":626402,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/SYMS_portrait_-Photo-credit_Taylor-Rainbolt..jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/martine-syms-2019\/syms_portrait_-photo-credit_taylor-rainbolt\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"syms_portrait_-photo-credit_taylor-rainbolt","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":73132,"date":"2019-01-07 11:57:35","modified":"2019-01-07 11:57:35","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1920,"height":1280,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/SYMS_portrait_-Photo-credit_Taylor-Rainbolt..jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":85,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/SYMS_portrait_-Photo-credit_Taylor-Rainbolt..jpg","medium-width":1920,"medium-height":1280,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/SYMS_portrait_-Photo-credit_Taylor-Rainbolt..jpg","medium_large-width":1920,"medium_large-height":1280,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/SYMS_portrait_-Photo-credit_Taylor-Rainbolt..jpg","large-width":1920,"large-height":1280,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/SYMS_portrait_-Photo-credit_Taylor-Rainbolt..jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1024,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/SYMS_portrait_-Photo-credit_Taylor-Rainbolt..jpg","2048x2048-width":1920,"2048x2048-height":1280,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/SYMS_portrait_-Photo-credit_Taylor-Rainbolt..jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":18,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/SYMS_portrait_-Photo-credit_Taylor-Rainbolt..jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1920,"wpvr_mobile-height":1280}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"10","caption":"Martine Syms.

Seeing and being seen is an important part of Syms\u2019 work. In an era where communication is carried out via the transfer of images over phones and through cameras and computers, we are constantly surveilled, and act and respond differently because of that. \u201cIf anything you do on camera is like a performance then you can expand that more broadly to think about the different types of surveillance that you\u2019re subjected to, and how there\u2019s an ongoing film being made,\u201d explains the artist. Syms refers to this as \u201cambient cinema\u201d \u2013 \u201cI\u2019m just saying that we are all being recorded all the time and you can think about that as a kind of filmmaking\u201d. According to Syms, sceptics have referred to this as \u201ca more optimistic way of thinking about (Jeremy Bentham and Michel Foucault\u2019s) panopticon,\u201d but she considers it to be more about accepting \u201cthe conditions we are already living in, it\u2019s more like a total archive,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n

Indeed, Syms has previously referred to her work as \u201ctimely\u201d, and it is nothing if not that. A recent spate of exhibitions (Big Surprise<\/em> at New York\u2019s Bridget Donahue<\/a>, Grand Calme<\/em><\/a> at London\u2019s Sadie Coles), as well as upcoming shows at ICA at Virginia Commonwealth University<\/a> in February 2019 and at the Secession in Vienna<\/a> the following April, prove that Syms is in demand, and that\u2019s probably because she\u2019s \u201cinterested in thinking about what\u2019s going on culturally and the conditions that we live in and the conditions that we see other people in\u201d. As much as she engages with the conditions of hyper-surveillance society, she\u2019s quick to point out that she isn\u2019t a fan of it at all. \u201cThere are many violations. I cover my cameras! I\u2019m really cautious with my privacy \u2013 I\u2019m not on social media for these reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":73146,"id":73146,"title":"syms_isi-still1-1024x730","filename":"syms_isi-still1-1024x730.jpg","filesize":121958,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/syms_isi-still1-1024x730.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/martine-syms-2019\/syms_isi-still1-1024x730\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"syms_isi-still1-1024x730","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":73132,"date":"2019-01-07 13:57:52","modified":"2019-01-07 13:57:52","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":906,"height":576,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/syms_isi-still1-1024x730.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":81,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/syms_isi-still1-1024x730.jpg","medium-width":906,"medium-height":576,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/syms_isi-still1-1024x730.jpg","medium_large-width":906,"medium_large-height":576,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/syms_isi-still1-1024x730.jpg","large-width":906,"large-height":576,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/syms_isi-still1-1024x730.jpg","1536x1536-width":906,"1536x1536-height":576,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/syms_isi-still1-1024x730.jpg","2048x2048-width":906,"2048x2048-height":576,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/syms_isi-still1-1024x730.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":18,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/syms_isi-still1-1024x730.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":906,"wpvr_mobile-height":576}},{"ID":73147,"id":73147,"title":"SYMS_Incense-Sweaters-and-Ice_Still-4-1024x576","filename":"SYMS_Incense-Sweaters-and-Ice_Still-4-1024x576.jpg","filesize":70265,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/SYMS_Incense-Sweaters-and-Ice_Still-4-1024x576.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/martine-syms-2019\/syms_incense-sweaters-and-ice_still-4-1024x576\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"syms_incense-sweaters-and-ice_still-4-1024x576","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":73132,"date":"2019-01-07 13:58:02","modified":"2019-01-07 13:58:02","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":906,"height":576,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/SYMS_Incense-Sweaters-and-Ice_Still-4-1024x576.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":81,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/SYMS_Incense-Sweaters-and-Ice_Still-4-1024x576.jpg","medium-width":906,"medium-height":576,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/SYMS_Incense-Sweaters-and-Ice_Still-4-1024x576.jpg","medium_large-width":906,"medium_large-height":576,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/SYMS_Incense-Sweaters-and-Ice_Still-4-1024x576.jpg","large-width":906,"large-height":576,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/SYMS_Incense-Sweaters-and-Ice_Still-4-1024x576.jpg","1536x1536-width":906,"1536x1536-height":576,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/SYMS_Incense-Sweaters-and-Ice_Still-4-1024x576.jpg","2048x2048-width":906,"2048x2048-height":576,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/SYMS_Incense-Sweaters-and-Ice_Still-4-1024x576.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":18,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/SYMS_Incense-Sweaters-and-Ice_Still-4-1024x576.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":906,"wpvr_mobile-height":576}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"6","caption":"Incense Sweaters & Ice, still, Martine Syms, 2017"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

Although there is an important technological aspect to her practice (at MoMA, Incense Sweaters & Ice<\/em> was accompanied by an augmented reality app, and in Grand Calme<\/em>, she created an interactive avatar of herself), she\u2019s also interested in the materiality of photography \u2013 found photos, obsolete cameras \u2013 and how different materials convey different meanings. It should come as little surprise that her interest in art grew out of an early fascination with photography. \u201cWe always had a lot of cameras in the house,\u201d remembers Syms. \u201cMy dad liked to take photos and had many different cameras and lenses. I was really into Polaroid and Lomography.\u201d In high school, she started making short films, experimenting with Super 8 and learning how to use Photoshop and Illustrator, which eventually led her to make \u201cmore production-conscious stuff, before I would just shoot things\u201d. Before moving to Chicago to do a BFA in film, video and new media at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2007, Syms worked for the Echo Park Film Centre in LA, a non-profit organisation specialising in experimental film. She arranged screenings, and worked and exhibited collaboratively, which in turn influenced her own approach to art- making. \u201cI\u2019m interested in having a peer group and having a connection to what\u2019s going on in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

In one scene in Incense Sweaters & Ice<\/em>, an elderly woman, possibly Girl\u2019s grandmother, sits in her bedroom surrounded by photographs hanging on the walls, propped on shelves, or pinned to noticeboards. Syms is fascinated by images. \u201cI\u2019m inspired by the production of images, their economy, circulation, value, meaning and problems,\u201d she reveals. Syms attributes her obsession with images to being homeschooled as a teenager: \u201cI had a lot of free time to go to movies or watch TV, so I had this relationship to images and thinking\u201d. One of her key influences is Alison Landsberg\u2019s book Prosthetic Memories<\/em> (2004), which argues that cinema, newsreels and images in the public domain can generate a collective memory, regardless of whether the individual experienced the event or not. By using images of her own family in her work, Syms creates a profound sense of empathy \u2013 the images are relatable and familiar even though they are personal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":73145,"id":73145,"title":"MS167_GregoryCarideo","filename":"MS167_GregoryCarideo.jpg","filesize":568305,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/MS167_GregoryCarideo.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/martine-syms-2019\/ms167_gregorycarideo\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"ms167_gregorycarideo","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":73132,"date":"2019-01-07 13:41:28","modified":"2019-01-07 13:41:28","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1371,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/MS167_GregoryCarideo.jpg","thumbnail-width":69,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/MS167_GregoryCarideo.jpg","medium-width":1371,"medium-height":1920,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/MS167_GregoryCarideo.jpg","medium_large-width":1371,"medium_large-height":1920,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/MS167_GregoryCarideo.jpg","large-width":1371,"large-height":1920,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/MS167_GregoryCarideo.jpg","1536x1536-width":1097,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/MS167_GregoryCarideo.jpg","2048x2048-width":1371,"2048x2048-height":1920,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/MS167_GregoryCarideo.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":9,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/MS167_GregoryCarideo.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1371,"wpvr_mobile-height":1920}},{"ID":73144,"id":73144,"title":"MS169_GregoryCarideo","filename":"MS169_GregoryCarideo.jpg","filesize":471697,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/MS169_GregoryCarideo.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/martine-syms-2019\/ms169_gregorycarideo\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"ms169_gregorycarideo","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":73132,"date":"2019-01-07 13:41:23","modified":"2019-01-07 13:41:23","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1371,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/MS169_GregoryCarideo.jpg","thumbnail-width":69,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/MS169_GregoryCarideo.jpg","medium-width":1371,"medium-height":1920,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/MS169_GregoryCarideo.jpg","medium_large-width":1371,"medium_large-height":1920,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/MS169_GregoryCarideo.jpg","large-width":1371,"large-height":1920,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/MS169_GregoryCarideo.jpg","1536x1536-width":1097,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/MS169_GregoryCarideo.jpg","2048x2048-width":1371,"2048x2048-height":1920,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/MS169_GregoryCarideo.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":9,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/MS169_GregoryCarideo.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1371,"wpvr_mobile-height":1920}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"4","caption":"Threat Model I, 2018 "}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

Montage is essential, too. In her ongoing project Lessons<\/em> (2014\u2013), Syms compiles found footage advertisements, sitcom snippets, music videos and web-based material to create a video montage in the form of an epic poem. Each of the 30-second clips contains a lesson on \u2013 what the artist describes on her website as \u2013 \u201cthe black radical tradition\u201d. The opening segment, for example, features the activist, author, filmmaker and musician Sister Souljah forcefully describing the ways American society fails African American citizens. At her recent Big Surprise<\/em> show, Syms took the concept of montage even further by placing four video monitors against photographic wallpaper to create an immersive space of moving and static imagery. As part of this show, she also exhibited Mythiccbeing<\/em> (2018), a video presenting what Syms refers to as her \u201cshadow self\u201d. Portrayed by a male actor, we see him roaming through a domestic space and conducting a \u201cdiaristic monologue\u201d in a further example of her ambient cinema.<\/p>\n

Mythiccbeing<\/em>, a play on the title of Adrian Piper\u2019s 1973 performance Mythic Being<\/em> (Piper is a significant inspiration for Syms), will also be on view at the ICA in Virginia next year, too, albeit in a slightly different format. Like her avatar in Grand Calme (which was also named Mythiccbeing<\/em> \u2014 the two pieces represent the left and right side of the brain) viewers can interact with the character in Mythiccbeing through a programmed chatbot. She notes that the name of the piece was also inspired by wondering \u201cwhat would it mean to make technology \u2018thicc\u2019?\u201d, referring to a slang term for a curvaceous woman\u2019s body. By loading Mythiccbeing<\/em> with hours of her own personal responses that pop-up on screen through SMS interaction with visitors, she configures technology as a container for desire.<\/p>\n

\u201c2018 is certainly defined by an overwhelming amount of images,\u201d Syms points out. As much as her work explores and warps the conditions of today, Syms is, by her own admission, just as concerned with continuities and historical precedents. \u201cWhat\u2019s happening right now is connected to what\u2019s happened before,\u201d she remarks. In an age of surface and appearance, what makes Syms\u2019 work stand out is just how research-driven it is. When I ask her about this aspect of her practice, she gleefully replies, \u201cI\u2019m a nerd. It\u2019s just how I approach things. I have this sense that I can think my way through it from every angle. Art is a way for me to think and way for me to learn about myself, but also about the world and other people\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"
