This
proposal was realized in the 2002 D.U.M.B.O. Art Under
the Bridge Festival. It took place on October 19th (Saturday)
from 7pm to midnight as part of the "Simultaneous
Projections" event. The location is on the corner
of Jay and Water Streets (see below).
For

"Without"
consists of three projected digital video streams
which are synced with each other and are similar,
but not the same. |
|
|
Each video is black and white and features animated
scenes of a sole character roving a desolate and
derelict environment.
|
 |
They
are projected onto three adjacent buildings or walls. |
|
 |
|
These
projected wanderings form looping patterns which change
from one form to another over long time periods.
(i.e.
crawling, walking etc. each for over 20 minutes, before
dissolving into the next action). The
entire range of action combinations from the three simultaneous
projections take many hours to view.

"Without"
is an artwork that deals with homelessness, separation,
invisibility, loneliness, disenfranchisement, and the
notion of falling between the cracks of society.
|
 |
| An
animated, ephemeral character inhabits a corner or dead
end. He is seen alone, walking, crawling, ranting and spinning
in the air in front of desolate urban landscapes, devoid
of people and of color. An icon of homelessness, he roves
his dreamscape in a jerky, surreal manner, always moving,
even in sleep, dislocated from time and place. |
