2009
Between 2008 and 2009 I made daily video recordings of my life in New York City.
The footage covers street scenes and social gatherings like art openings. Between the glitz I captured abstract close-up of mundane facts.

Here is always somewhere else

Video Womb Teaser “Wild, absurd, and preferably anticlimactic.”
For Video Womb I partnered up with Dan Ribaudo and Drayton Hiers to work with the footage and develop an encapsulating, immersive space around it.
Made for being at a party but away from the party it was set up during and within public events.
Visitors would spend hours lounging on a carpeted landscape and be surrounded by the video material and muted throbbing beats that filtered through the womb.
A VJ tool allowed to control, superimpose, or otherwise manipulate the projections.
