Elusive Paces, digital video, dimensions variable, 2014

In the Elusive series, I use long exposure photography shot in fast intervals to capture my movement in a handmade “light suit.” The camera captures the moving image of light, which is mysterious in nature but can be easily explained- juxtaposing something that is so obviously constructed while pretending to be elusive. This piece is a visualization of our desire to connect with something magical, spiritual, or otherworldly and the disappointment we meet when we uncover the carefully constructed illusion.

This work exists as photographs and time-lapse videos. At times, I show only the photographs, and, at times, I pair them with projected videos. I see the photos and videos as two types of documented “phenomena.”
