I just put together this video of the documentation of the projection paired with the sculptures. I think its interesting the amount of layers and removal from the actual landscape I recorded this project has, especially in this format.
Tides and time, documentation of video projection onto 11 cast cement metronome sculptures, approx. 9’x7’, january 2012
There are compounding effects happening. Did you at all play with the forward/backwards play of the video posted here? I watched your other video enough times to try and remember where it is backwards and then I looked for those parts to see if they were perhaps playing forward.
ReplyDeleteIt is also even more surreal with the lines that come from videotaping video, although I wouldn't have thought that that would happen with a projection, and even more so, it is happening over the video projecting on top of the metronomes, seemingly replacing their immobilized pulse. I feel as though you have scooped a handful of time and put it under a museum case ... and come to find out, it is like looking into a mirror into a mirror into a mirror ... wow.
The colored lines make the whole thing, even more of a minimalist experience than it was. The quality has degraded by being a video of a video. By being further removed from the live projection, the piece does have the effect of emphasizing something caught in a repeating, timeless state.
