Projects > Drink Me, or Alice was beginning to get very tired, 2005

“DRINK ME or Alice was beginning to get very tired", 2006. Mixed media slide dissolve projection on screen of giant silk roses suspended with wire, 229 x 305 x 114 cm. 3min. loop

Through slow slide dissolves a woman methodically eats the pages of a book, Alice in Wonderland. Her performance is documented with slides, edited to 24 frames and projected onto a cube sculpted of giant suspended roses on stems. The material density of the screen both forms and deforms the image. Through this work the artist continues her exploration of the projection apparatus as a living assemblage where support and image meld in a process of thickening that slides between perception, hallucination and cognition.
