Reykjavík Art Museum Hafnarhús, site-specific video installation on 10 projectors.
This work sets aside the symbolic, narrative and sound to focus on perception. At first the projection appears photographic, showing only the room itself, white walls, concrete floor, ceiling, and columns, until narrow beams of sunlight sweep across the surfaces, revealing it as moving image. During filming, passing cars briefly redirected beams through the large windows, scattering light across the interior. The windows that once admitted this light are now sealed, breaking the illusion of a live broadcast. Projected now, the work stands between document and event. Audience shadows fall across the image, subtly altering its form and merging presence with record. The piece stages a meeting of space, chance, and the viewer’s body.
