The transcendent has been used throughout history as a great tool for politicians and religious leaders. So does that make the transcendent itself more or less genuine? What is the discourse today about things that are beyond our physical limitations? Is this subject still valid in critical practice? Do our contemporary vehicles and media allow us to more accurately portray and communicate what is beyond our reach? These are the questions I hope to raise with this project…
This is part of an installation in Minneapolis, MN at the Soap Factory this summer. It’s an interactive piece that senses the distance of the viewer and reacts by moving forward or backward or by stopping altogether. The installation also has lightboxes with the same Captain America graphic. The piece is about American pride and man vs nature mentality that got us where we are today. The hopeful message is that we can effect change by our presence and observations.
Stay tuned for more images of the installation…
