Mirage
HD Video, 100 seconds , colour, 2012
The desert of Arizona is like a dream. I couldn't get enough of it. Fortunately (?) early in our drive out of Phoenix Arizona towards the Grand Canyon, there was some sort of problem and we spent an hour crawling along the highway, sometimes stopping completely. It was actually quite wonderful because we got to look at hundreds of cactus, photographing and videotaping them through the car window. I took all of those videos, keyed out the blue of the sky, stretched them all until they were of equal length to the longest clip, and layered them together to create a sort of multi-plane image..VIDEO
