single-channel video, steel, canvas, sunset
exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art Fort Worth, Texas.
A continuous video of the sunset at White Sands National Monument, New Mexico, is projected onto the surface of a freestanding stretched canvas with a beveled interior aperture with a 4:3 aspect ratio. During the day, the video is invisible in sunlight, and the canvas frame functions as an aperature for a view of the site itself. The central subject darkens as the local sun sets, and the New Mexican sunset projected onto the canvas becomes visible. Effectively, the visible subject shifts from what is being framed to the frame itself.
