To me, however, Pfeiffer’s work is interesting not just as an exploration of power, but as a discussion on repetition and translation. “Incarnator” is a translation that continues to be retranslated so that in the end, is distant from the original text. In Pfeiffer’s footage, he uses computer imaging to capture the form of the children, which he uses to make busts. Translation is never perfect, and Pfeiffer makes this clear in his work — they’re impure, unfinished, and fractions of a whole. * * *“Incarnator” by Paul Pfeiffer is currently on display at Bellas Artes Projects Outpost, 2/F The Alley at Karrivin, 2316 Chino Roces Ave. until Oct. 6.
