Office

2013. video (color, sound), media player, screen or projector, 5 min loop. Music by Evan Samek.
Office blurs historical and contemporary depictions of wealth and power. In the film, marble busts of Baroque-era aristocrats explode in slow-motion within luxury cubicles. With its photo-realistic treatment, the work offers a meditation on the hidden yet permeating existence of power. Originally commissioned for a 60′ by 28′ LED screen in the Denver Theatre District.
