Around the Block is a multi-channel video and audio environment that enacts common realities of the street – where we flow through restricted space with obstructed views. Our ears are more liberated than our eyes. This work is a distillation of still images collage with composited live action video to create a continuum of visually limited space. Rendered as three videos that are projected in a series that wrap the gallery walls, we see people stroll by – sometimes curious about what lies beyond their view. All the while, the audio space provides tempting glimpses into a larger and unseen distance. Around the Block was exhibited at Red Head Gallery in Toronto Canada in 2012.
