Video Work
A Slight Suggestion
An interdisciplinary solo exhibit presented by Catalyst Projects at doris-mae (2014)
The video below is excerpted from a larger video installation titled 'sometimes, on a windy day' that was part of the show. The two pictures were taken at the exhibit. They show the use of a split screen to enhance the subject matter represented in the videos. (Click here for more info)
Each video is of a single-framed shot of a sidewalk or similar surface that’s being animated by shadows, usually of trees. Each video is duplicated into a grid (5x5, 10x10 or 20x20). The resulting gridded video is a larger texture made out of the individual, smaller ones present in the video. Rather than being projected on a static screen, the videos are projected on a screen that itself is animated by an oscillating fan to mirror the play of wind displayed in the videos. All videos were shot using an iPhone 4s. No processing was applied to the footage.

The videos are of sidewalks that are perhaps ordinarily not all that interesting. But when light filters through trees on a windy day, the resulting shadows animate the concrete and give it a textural depth that’s utterly captivating! It’s not that strange for me to stand still for long stretches of time filming these shadows dancing on the sidewalk.
