Installation
Laid out in an arrangement reminiscent of photo negatives, these analog images inspect and isolate fragmented parts of the body: an armpit, an eye, an arm. The camera, placed alongside them, is thereby the agent of attachment and unification of the body. Reminiscent of Marshall McLuhan’s The Medium Is the Massage, the artist, the image maker, has become one with the camera, an extension of the body.
Installation
The audience is brought into a hallway that extends for approximately fifteen feet. The walls are screens that project the piece, once on the left and once on the right. Overhead, a mix of clapping and camera sounds combines the corporeal and the mechanical into an unnerving cacophony that implies a feeling of being observed and recorded.
