Abduction of Europa
Two channel video projection
3 min. video loop
The concept behind this piece is based off a myth from classical antiquity. According to the myth Europa was abducted by Zeus disguised as a white bull and taken to the heavens where she became a moon goddess. The video loops display the natural elements as they appear to our everyday orientation (i.e. sky projected above, earth projected below) and slowly transform into each other causing a sense of disorientation.
Video channels are projected opposite each other; one channel projected on the ground, the other channel projected on the ceiling. Showing the video in this manner presents the viewer the inability to "see" the whole piece at once making them take part in constructing how the videos relate.
