movement in architecture
3.5 min
A conversation with Maarten Struijs, architect of Purifying Plant/Smoke
Cleaner in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
The building was designed by Struijs with an awareness of the
sun moving across it over the course of the day. He wanted the
public to be able to experience a piece of architecture as though
it was a form of nature: constantly in movement. The video uses
several time-lapse processes [Super-8, video, still photography]
to visual his poetic architectural vision. |

This video looks at how terror is affecting us on an unconscious
level since 9.11. Footage shot on 9.9.01 from the World Trade
Center [my studio in Tower One as part of a LMCC art residency]
is manipulated to simulate surveillance in order to create a
pseudo-narrative from the position of the security personnel.
The viewer witnesses an over-tired security person suffer from
post-traumatic stress disorder when the present collides with
the past, as the repetition and boredom of watching creates
a space for the unconscious of the ‘watcher’ to
erupt: he/she seems to ‘experience’ multiplying
subliminal flashbacks of Tower Two [along with sound from television
coverage on 9.11]. Originally conceived before 9.11 as a response
to the security focus at WTC, the video now has also become
an acknowledgment of the WTC security personnel, as well as
all those that the event still exists for within their unconscious.
A
powerful variation on what may already be a genre: the security
camera film. The film was made from a studio in the former World
Trade Center in New York. Brown divides her image strictly into
four, which is briefly interrupted by what looks like a technical
fault.-International

30 seconds of banality
July
in Northern Ireland is a month devoted to Protestant rituals.
On July 11, there are huge bonfires which symbolize the
burning of Catholic people. The video is a before and after
'commercial'. One of many projects realized during a 5 month
residency.

of moving time 6 min.
Interiors and exteriors are used metaphorically to describe our
process of time. Video manipulation (pause, fast-forward, re-wind)
is used as a way to describe the internal/psychological/non-linear.
Originally created as a reference to our focus on time during
the Millennium. |

general description 2 min. loop
This work centers on notions of looking in relation to public/private
space, referring to how surveillance has heightened our consciousness
of being in public and shifted our sense of what is private. Using
imagery taken through the window of my guest studio in the Netherlands
of the opposite building, it simultaneously describes the physical
and the psychological; how looking can become an act of voyeurism
and therefore inherently sexualized. The voiceover underlines
this sexuality through the entwined male and female voices as
it points to the banality of what is actually being seen. |
