Place With A Pulse
Single-channel video with sound
1920x1080
2013
This gallery displays selected video stills from the work's footage. This two-minute sequence includes a hidden cam beneath a red bird, and the artist engaged in several acts: repeatedly hitting her chest while covered in dried clay, laying face-first into a hole in the ground, and holding a mirror to reflect the sun back at a flight drone camera. There are pulsing sounds throughout the video that fall in and out of sync with the movement [or non-movement] of each image. For the video's first screening, viewers sat in an undersized red chair and watched through worn video glasses with ear buds. Images are courtesy of the artist and Porter Contemporary Gallery, New York.
