Jennifer Steinkamp continues to explore ideas of space and motion in her newest exhibition and is applying new media technology to create the illusionistic environments.

The panoramic The Wreck of the Dumaru is a site-specific installation encompassing every wall of the first room of the gallery. The work references her great uncle who became delirious and died at sea during World War I. Steinkamp portrays a forceful sea in hallucinogenic colors rising from the gallery floor. A languid blue acts as a tranquil background while the slow moving, yet dynamic waves rise and fall. Reaching extraordinary heights, the waves are disorienting as they crash and crest around the gallery.

Falling multi-colored sheets shimmer and tumble as if over an invisible rocky surface. In a series of new works titled, Formation, the walls of the gallery seem to be jagged plains. This illusion of the virtual revealing the invisible is representative of Steinkamp’s continued investigations into individual perceptions.
