Camera Obscura Mirror Series

These eight motionpaintings were inspired by the Camera Obscura photographs by my good friend John Serkin.  Titled “The Destruction of the World As We Know It in Eight Obscure Movements”,  they’re meant to be exhibited as a series in a semi-darkened environment; each motionpainting approximating 20′ high by 10′ across and looped for continuous viewing.  To achieve this, I recommend using two projectors – one for the top and another for the bottom (flipped accordingly) to form one whole image.  Projections need to be sourced from appropriate Ultra Short-throw projectors fed by Millumin software.  Contact the artist for more information and high resolution video files.  Below is a simulation of what these might look like in a museum or gallery setting. M.o.s., 2021-2023.

Please note that any exhibition of this series should include John Serkin’s digital prints in such manner that the viewer has the opportunity to compare and contrast the motionpaintings with the prints that inspired them.
