Graveshift

for fixed media with video

 

 

Through a rain-streaked café window, surveillance of a street scene is digitally transformed into a fluid chaos comprised of paranoia, ghostly figures, and alterations of reality. Echoes of a forgotten song float above the milieu, now gaining, now loosing coherence. It is an image plagued by distortion, but this distortion emerges from quietness and recedes once again into the same.

Graveshift was conceived as a cross-discipline collaboration including video, music, and live dance.
