ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
SYNOPSIS
Six imaginary interactions in a courtyard which were then ‘completed’ using digital sculptural elements I inserted into the video stream. The outcome was then exhibited in a large-format, HD video projection in a room immediately adjacent to the courtyard.
This video was part of a group show called “Exhibition III”, at Berlin’s MMX gallery. Rather than bringing an existing project to the show I decided to work with the site directly. On my first visit to MMX I became immediately fascinated with the textures and details of the gallery’s internal (and somewhat rundown) courtyard.
