Stillness

Video Projection

2005

The video explores the fluidity of the boundaries between the inside and the outside by using a transparent, spherical glass container filled with ink, immersed in water.  The work shows a very slow transfer of black ink into water.  The image, which at times seems almost still, is in continuous transformation.  Gradually, the object disappears into blackness, leaving behind a reflection of its surroundings.  The projection, shot in real time, lasts over an hour, is in a loop and is projected onto sandblasted glass.
