Expanded Film Environments

These works extend moving image into spatial form. Film becomes distributed across environments through projection, sculptural elements, and, often, individually experienced sound. Viewers encounter images through physical movement and duration, so time is felt in the body as much as it is seen. The moving image is no longer confined to a frame but becomes something that can be navigated and inhabited.
