bunkbeds

"bunkbeds" is a video installation that consists of a simple, fixed image playing out in linear (although manipulated) time. The subject, pulled out of domesticity and into nature, slowly goes up in flames, warping, falling apart and eventually collapsing altogether.

"bunkbeds" is an attempt at destroying a subject's personal, unseen history. A structure's transition from stability to dust could be viewed as mundane, cathartic or nauseating to the viewer and is constructed to embody all of these things. The main contrast of the piece is how destruction of the subject expands visually outward while the sound it produces is sucked inward, slowed down and reversed.

Elements of the soundtrack include various sounds of destruction and high frequencies. Others are taken from several soundtracks that are likewise manipulated, distorted and reversed.
