Untitled Sleep was an installation in which three
televisions featured 3 different looping video clips running
simultaneously. Television #1 (left)
featured shots of the head and neck. Television
#2 (middle) featured shots of the stomach and back. Television
#3 (right) featured shots of the legs and feet.
Since the clips on each television took different times to
loop, the three screens combined in different ways (based purely
on chance). There were moments when all three televisions were
silent and times when they were all talking at once. Sometimes
the three images seemed to fit together. Sometimes, they seemed
quite dissonent. Even though the longest clip was 4 minutes,
this dynamic set-up of the loops drew viewers into the installation
for much longer.
Dec 5th ::
Biblio Bookstore (Tucson, AZ)
Untitled Sleep premiered at Biblio bookstore (thanks
to Maggie) before a works-in-progress reading by U of A MFA
students in both fiction and poetry. While a lot of people viewed
it, the installation was not created for this type of space.
I set up three televisions on top of a bookshelf in the middle
of the space.
Dec 6th :: U
of A campus grounds (Tucson, AZ)
The campus lawn was the intended space for Untitled Sleep.
Three televisions were set on the ground at the end of a very
long strip of grass that divided many of the buildings. There
were two walkways on either side of the installation. To face
the televisions, students had to venture out to the middle of
the lawn.
