Film and audio, mixed media installation.
project for a divided house was a site specific installation consisting of four S8 projectors and film loops, four audio loops, and constructed walls. It involved replicating or recreating the interior walls of one side of the gallery, which was located on the ground floor of a late Victorian house in downtown Toronto. Four film loops were projected on either side of these walls and four sound loops were embedded in them. The replicated walls were built on an angle to the actual walls, shifted slightly on an axis to destabilize spatial coordinates—a philosophy of physics problem: the space between the walls both is and is not. The doubling of the actual space and that of the space of representation creates a distance that lets us see the space of specific conditions and social and cultural epistemes, norms, and codes embedded in architectural space.
