Working Through Process: Collapsing Depth

Tania Ursomarzo - Toronto, Canada

Video Installation

The installation uses the interplay of light and shadow as a medium to watch and record time against a building facade's backdrop. Day becomes night as night becomes day, revealing and rendering this everyday ephemera tangible. As information gathers, it sequentially superimposes on the physical site from which the information originally derived. The changing environmental conditions at the site and the layering of real and recorded time transform the depth of the facade's space with each instant of time that passes. The process of creating and presenting this work makes the perception of it constantly subject to change and to oscillation between varying spatial dimension. Time and surface unfold three dimensionally as light and shadow are choreographed to play out in a two dimensional collapse to scale with the built environment.
