For some time now I have been interested in the nature of
representation. For example, I created a painting (every pixel
hand-painted) of an image captured from a remote web cam surveying the
streets of American cities. I presented the aforementioned painting
juxtaposed with video footages from the same remote web cam from the
city where the paintings were supposedly depicting. Furthermore, the
gallery was installed with another web cam pointing to the painting
exactly so that it's resulting video image echoed that of the remote
web cam video providing the viewer with the actual view of the
city. The discrepancies are fore-fronted when the viewer walks in
front of the painting and he/she punctures the image with his/her own
image in the video projection disrupting the chain of
re-presentation.
