4 Videos for an Installation (2005) The videos were originally intended for a four-channel installation, though they have exhibited singly as well as in several configurations. They are very different stylistically, but are united in the sense that, in each, the visual structure of the original material is altered to reveal or imply things about the time and space depicted in the images. Corner, Los Angeles was shot on the corner of 5th and Broadway. The original shot was broken up into a 6x4 grid with each square of the grid offset by 10 seconds (top left starting the shot, bottom right ending it). The sound was cut into one-second segments which pan left to right in relation to the sections of the image. Fire, San Bernardino consists of a shot of a wildfire on a hillside. The original 25-minute footage was divided into five 5-minute segments. Each of the layers was tinted, rendered semi-transparent and laid on top of one another in consecutive order (yellow, green, red, purple and blue). Pier & Beach, Santa Monica is a series of still images shot on 35mm film with a stereo lens. I separated the stereo pairs, laid them on top of one another and did 3-frame dissolves back and forth between the layers - simultaneously creating the illusions of depth and movement from the still photographs. Drive, Los Feliz to Boyle Heights was shot from the back of my car during a trip to my friend's house. All of the frames of the 8-minute video were output separately (a total of 14,000 frames) and then rearranged manually.
