crossing
single-channel video, silent. 10:33 loop, 2006
A video shot looking from Windsor Ontario, across
the Detroit River toward Detroit Michigan. At first all seems normal. Then
ghost-like images of cars appear to be crossing on or under the
water surface, across the international border to and from the
two cities. For a time suspension of disbelief is possible,
due to the otherwise passive scene of the water and waterfronts.
Video was shot as seen, without in-camera or post-editing
"tricks" through an angled window that reflected the image of traffic
outside.
