12 people. 4 cameras. 3 days. 1 town.

IN BETWEEN SPACES is an experimental video project that explores the notion of a communal gaze. This collaborative documentary follows 12 individual perspectives from within a community; and through their eyes a sense of objective reality emerges. The community is Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada.
In the summer of 2011, I placed GoPro cameras in the hands of four people who filmed one hour of their lives over the course of 3 days. When their hour was up they handed the cameras on to four others of their choosing to repeat the process. This cycle happened once more and in the end, 12 hours of footage from the daily lives of individuals in Charlottetown was collected.
I then acted as the organizing principle (with the help of original music composed by Roger Carter rogercarter.bandcamp.com) ordering and filtering these layers of perspective into a whole.
The result is IN BETWEEN SPACES. onethousandflowers.tv
Videographers: Donnalee Downe, Michael Wasnidge, Sandi Hartling, Mauricio Aristizabal, Christine Landry, David Phillips, Kelly Caseley, John MacKenzie, BJ MacCarville, Chrissy Cerminara, Corrie Cerminara, Matt Bowness.

This is very similar to a project I made for my thesis work. Titled, Alien Presence - [Handmade Echo], I put out an international callout to Video Artists who wanted to be part of an exhibited video work with around ten other video artists from all over the world. Each Artist was to shoot one min. of a desolate landscape; Each artist was restricted to frame the shoot with horizon line at one third up the frame; and all where coordinated through international time zones to record at the same moment, calculated to the second. Each Artist shot, then sent the works to me and I edited each of the works to line up beside each other in one long line - a coordinated international moment of present.
As noted by Phenomenologist Merleau Ponty, these landscapes provide the perfect environment for a 'phenomena' to occur - activated only at a distance of perception. In effect I was producing a collaborative phenomena, identified only in post. These ingredients generate moments of 'pure presence' where one is both transfixed by wonder and transported by sense.
Philip Fischer describes this moment as: “The moment of pure presence within wonder lies in the objects difference and uniqueness being so striking to the mind that it does not remind us of anything and we find ourselves delaying in its presence for a time in which the mind does not move on by association to something else."
The work was exhibited at the Sydney Contemporary Art gallery; Stills. Thanks for reminding me of this work. Perhaps we could have a collaborative event of some video kind?
Great work.
Keep creating :)

I automatically see your style even though others were handling the cameras. impressive.
