Using the shoreline house of Alice Austen, the pioneering Victorian photographer, I wanted to allow the house itself—the walls, the baseboards, the keyholes, and underneath cushions—to tell the story of her complicated life and coded sexuality. Video loops and camera obscuras were embedded into various furniture and household objects; video projections, cast shadows and mirrors were incorporated into the existing interior. Using the notions of the domestic interior and the camera as visual conceits for the self, this installation explored the complex relationship between the “eye” and the “I.”
Using different surfaces and ways to display screens is interesting. Like the new forms of biotechnology are progressing, I think expanded cinema will become more popular due to audiences wanting to engage more deeply or interact with ideas, rather than just watching them on a screen. For my project I'd like to create a room using projection and maybe screens to bring the viewer into this futuristic biotech led world.
