Format: Solar Projections and SD Video shot on the longest day of the year
From the sidewalk below my window, people assemble and disperse regularly, and snippets of their conversations, along with the sounds of the activity of the street and park enter through the open window, punctuated by the startling interruptions of angry traffic. I don’t have to look out the window to perceive and imagine these activities, and closing the window doesn’t help much to filter out the cacophony of noise and sounds that emanates from the park, street and sidewalk, especially on these bright and sunny days. When night arrives, a different atmosphere takes over. The park empties, the side street parking spaces fill to capacity with the cars of locals, the children are tucked safe inside, and the noises which emanate from the street and park below, become more aggressive and desperate as the night wears on. Shot on the longest day of the year, the blending of interior and exterior soundscapes with solar images of the setting sun is projected back into interior space, and forms the material backdrop for this fleeting document about the sometimes contradictory relations of the urban and everyday.
