American Diorama
Year: 2004Duration: Five 45 min synchronized video loops
Excerpt: 6:30 min
American Diorama consists of a series of panoramic landscapes spread across an array of five video monitors. By simultaneously presenting several versions of a single camera pan, staggered in time, the project creates large composite images in which objects appear to move from one screen to another. The viewer is given the unusual opportunity to observe several aspects of a single event simultaneously and the result is a “panoramic” view, which spreads across both time and space. Over the duration of the work, these composite images transition from one landscape to another, moving gradually from Cape Cod, across the North American continent, to California and the Pacific Ocean. The project was funded in part by an Ohio Arts Council Artist’s Fellowship Grant. The work has been shown at the Block Museum of Art at Northwestern University, Chicago, IL, Shirley-Jones Gallery, Yellow Springs, OH, A Muse Gallery, San Francisco, CA, and at the Light Factory, Charlotte, NC. In 2010 the work was permanently installed at the El Camino Medical Center in Mountain View, CA. Documentation of that installation may be seen here: http://vimeo.com/13603653.
