The artwork considers new conditions of cinematic spectatorship and image currency in the digital age. As meditations on sight, perception and image-making, the audio-visual installations mix photographs, video screens and projected light in an interplay between objects, moving and still images. A rendering of landscapes in which our notions of what is “real” are slippery, the work questions the cultural and psychological spaces of viewership that define “the cinematic”—and the aesthetic formulas that allow the virtual world to alter human experience.
