Walkthrough of Schindler House Exhibition, Feb 2000

Location Proposal #2 as installed at the Schindler House, Jan-Feb 2000

Norman Klein, in The History of Forgetting, writes that "Simulation is a blur between memory and signifier." This work explores that blur.

"Location Proposal #2" is a series of 18 rear screen projections based on a computer model of the woods sequence in Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo." There is one rear screen projection for each shot of the sequence. The myth is that Hitchcock's "Vertigo" was photographed in the Muir Woods but in fact it was not. The ranger will, however, indicate locations within the Woods "featured" in "Vertigo". The famous scene of Madeline pointing to the sequoia cross cut and referenced by Chris Marker in "Sans Soleil", although based on a cross cut located in the Muir Woods, was recreated on a sound stage. "Location Proposal #2" is about that state of displacement.
