Silent Trans-Forming

description

Silent Trans-Forming is a video installation constructed of common materials. A black tarp is re-deployed as a screen which displays an enigmatic text, cut from its centre, concerning the passage of time. A silent black and white video of Pat & Lolly Vegas performing "Write Me, Baby" is projected onto this modified tarp.  This particular combination of elements is conceived as a deliberately ad hoc formation, informed by something other than a strict, defined utility. In using common materials with common functions for unforeseen ends, the work points toward the possibility of the future being something other than it was.
