station drag

Screened as part of Intransit at the Wellington St Bus Station in Perth. Here I aligned the camera to a projected image of the station both of which I clumsily drag around a nondescript space. Like studio drag I’m deliberately exposing the struggle of composing the work, in fact harping it up to a certain degree. For the project I was working towards the projection being viewed life-size so there would be the potential for a passing glance to misinterpret the projected action as actually being in the site, yet as the install shots show the work was scaled down to a video type format. Not that significant yet it brings up the relevance of the scale and situation of the work, how much control I can have over this and if not if the work can stand on its on as a video rather than an installation.
