<\/p>\nFor our residency, I will be developing an piece based on a war memorial in my hometown of Lafayette, CA. After meeting with the group, I am really excited to go forward with the mirrored box idea. I love the idea of a person sticking their head in a box for all its metaphors, and hope to turn this image inside out, by creating a meaningful experience inside the box. Inside, video of the actual memorial will be projected on all five sides using mirrors and a screen. Rather than the one-to-one ratio of the actual memorial, the repetition suggests the infinite and ongoing cost of war. The person’s head will block some of the imagery, and i’m also wondering if their head might repeat infinitely! Either way, the person getting in their own way of seeing the information is important to me. I will also make a looping soundtrack from some of the documentary footage, which I imagine will be abstract (this needs some further thought).<\/p>\n
