'Ghost... a border act'
Two rooms, ghost like suspensions within the architecture
Projectors spin on central tables
'Face to face'
Pictures taken with a pinhole camera in the artist's mouth. Mouth open in public is a position of vulnerability and socially not normal, and the process forces a prolonged experience of standing so directly and close to another person. The shape of the mouth is the same shape as an eye, so the image of the person becomes the eye's iris

bill viola, tiny deaths
Three large projections appear on the walls of a completely dark room. They exist at the threshold of perception, barely visible in the blackness. Human forms gradually emerge as dim silhouettes on a field of noise. Indecipherable voices are heard quietly talking. At random intervals, a light source slowly appears on one of the figures, rapidly increasing in intensity until the illumination suddenly consumes their whole body in a burst of white light. The peak light momentarily illuminates the room and washes out the other two projections. All returns abruptly to darkness until one of the other projected figures moves through the same transformation.
