V1-V3, 2011
Four wall multi-channel video and sound installation, performance, and sculpture (3:23min loop).

Kelley Roy Gallery, 2011

A motorcycle chain penetrates layers of plexiglas sheets, forming a flexible sculpture modeled after the human vertebrae. ­Highly explosive fuse lines are threaded through the motorcycle chain and lit on fire, bringing the sculpture violently to life. The event is then recorded and projected onto a woman’s back while she attempts to replicate the clattering lateral motion. An uncanny spectacle of physical life in the lifeless, V1-V3 humanizes the inanimate and removes the familiar.

Created by Yara Travieso and Mira Lehr
Original Score and Sound Installation: Jerome Begin
