The Veiling, 1995
Video/sound installation
Edition 2: Collection of the artist; courtesy Anthony d�Offay Gallery,
London Images of a man and a woman moving through a series of nocturnal
landscapes are projected into parallel layers of loosely suspended translucent
cloth. They each appear on separate opposing video channels, and are
seen gradually moving from dark areas of shadow into areas of bright
light. The cloth material diffuses the light and the figures dissipate
in intensity and focus as they penetrate further into the scrim layers,
eventually intersecting each other on the central veil. Recorded independently,
the images of the man and the woman never coexist in the same video
frame. Only the light from their images intermingles in the fabric of
the hanging veils.
The
Sleepers, 1992
Video installation
Edition 1: Mus�e d�Art Contemporain, Montreal Seven metal barrels are
filled to the brim with water. They each contain a black-and-white video
monitor positioned on the bottom. Each monitor shows a recording of
a person�s face while asleep, presented with little or no editing. A
different person appears in each barrel, and they remain isolated from
each other on their individual screens beneath the water. The soft light
from the video screens emerges from each barrel and diffuses in the
room.
