Pass Away / Long Distance
Video Installation, 2017
CRT Televisions, Camcorder, Walker, Tablet
Pass Away / Long Distance involves a photo of my grandmother displayed on a tablet, captured on a camcorder that feeds into a television mounted on a walker. The camcorder constantly adjusts itself to focus on the image displayed on the tablet, especially when the closed-circuit space between the two are obstructed. The piece is a reflection on how intimate memories of a being's absence are captured, archived and disembodied through different technological formats.
