CRISIS OF THE WALLS — institutional sunset 2016
video projection installation, basement studio at the Art Institute of Chicago

The white walls of my studio are being slowly covered in paint. I use a broom to reduce the aesthetics of painting to the aesthetics of labor. This performance is later projected back on the walls illuminating the dark room with image of the white walls themselves until the gestures applied on them stroke by stroke reduce this light. By the time all surfaces are covered, the room stands in darkness again.
