recently did an installation at gallery 716... this is also a proposed installation that i recently got a grant for which i am working on...

This is an excerpt from the installation "Passing Lights".



At certain time of the day, I see the reflection of sunlight from the passing cars cast on to the wall of my studio building. I shot these passing lights and projected it back on to the wall. These lights "invade" my space momentarily. Sometimes I will see the pedestrian's shadows cast on the walls as they walk-by, breaking the rhythmic flow. This is still a work in progress. I would like to shoot with a different camera with a higher contrast. My studio is in the Vancouver Downtown East side. The power relation between the street inhabitants (mainly the homeless, addicts, prostitutes etc) and the people passing (usually confined to their vehicle) between Downtown and the suburbs interests me: How the jaywalkers throw the rhythmic flow of the traffic in to disarray for a brief moment inverting the power relation.
