Chain Reaction  
HD Video
3:15 min. loop


Chain Reaction is a video conceived of to conflate the boundaries between the static and the moving image. Existing as both a durational photograph and a static video, this piece seeks to challenge the conventions assigned to each medium by existing in an space between the two.  At its core, this video also addresses the nature of photographic perception and spatiality itself.  By confounding the boundaries between foreground and background and object and shadow, the piece ultimately presents “space” as something that is constantly shifting, destabilizing and, ultimately, intangible.
