In the single channel video projection 2.30, Karla Carballar captures the shadows of her blinking eyelashes projected onto her bedroom wall. Isolated from the rest of the face and reduced to shadows, the movement of her lashes become displaced and alien.
On the night of August 14th, 2003, during the North East blackout, Karla Carballar recorded the only light visible, that of a single patrol car parked on the street. For one minute and 13 seconds the stroboscopic light pierced the darkness that blanketed the city, and then disappeared into the pitch-black night. On the surface 8-14/03 is a hypnotic abstraction of pure light.
Madeleine Gallagher collaborated with sound artist Ian Nagoski to create “Shell Home Elk Bee,” a single-channel video installation featuring a 24-hour video recording of the subtle light changes and bend in the horizon of the landscape of the bay side view from Truro Massachusetts. The light recorded from the rapidly changing weather patterns is presented with 5.1 surround sound of Nagoski’s drones, created with audio frequency wave patterns and digital feedback.
