TIME TRAVELLER
TIME TRAVELLER: Running time 3:12.
This project was conceived and designed as part of the "AROUND THE SUN" trilogy - a continuously looping 3 part video/sound installation. The videos are mounted on the wall in the manner of museum paintings with 5.1 surround sound. There is also a linear film festival edit of TIME TRAVELLER (above).
ARTIST STATEMENT
Things are real, but not real. “Time” is simultaneously stretched and compressed. It is both fast and slow. Movements are in slow motion and yet a year goes by in minutes. We become a tourist, a voyeur, a time traveller standing fixed in space on a sidewalk near an outdoor cafe. Apparitions of day to day life drift past. Disembodied voices speculate about the parameters of human existence and the universe around us. The earth goes around the sun. Another year has gone by.
