Projects > WORLD WITHOUT SUN, 2012.
Six channel video projection on six satellite dishes with metal stands. Each dish 10ft. 2in., 5 min.loop
Titled after Jacques Cousteau and Louis Malle's 1964 film documenting the first manned undersea colony, "World without Sun,"explores the concept that the universe is made up of multiple subjective environments. The work evolves from the artist's interest in cosmologies, focusing in this instance on jellyfish and 19th biologist Jakob von Uexküll's concept of umwelt, or the perceptual world in which an organism exists and acts as a subject. Linking communication, perception and environment the work suggests an organic sublime which teeters on the brink of both oblivion and renewal. This liquid world begins and ends with the survivalist connectivity of luminescent jellyfish.
