These are surveillance portraits of people looking at the video installation Scenes from Last Week, a window projection in midtown Manhattan at the Roger Smith Hotel. They are looking at video of the present moment and each day from the prior week synchronized to the current time. This project was created by Andrew Demirjian during an artist residency at the Eyebeam Art and Technology Center.
A new version of the work will be at 218 & 225 W. 14th St. from July 15th - August 8th in collaboration with Art in Odd Places. Post your photo here:
