Projectinfo

This residency will continue my personal research and practical investigation into syntax and structure of filmic representation and its subversion. From my recent focus on stereoscopy here I would like to experiment with sculptural projection situation which will have 3D content projected onto them.
I am interested in the resulting cancellation, contradiction or hyper amplification of spatial attributes by mixing actual and virtual space.
