The End of Angels
2-channel video installation, 7:52
The End of Angels collapses and redeploys imagery from the 'real world' with built dioramas that track and investigate the uncanny messages that come through dreams. This space, between lived experience and ones struggle to interpret, is a focal point that is equally described as 'nothing' and 'everything', 'everywhere' and 'no where.'
The slide deck explains how a viewer experienced the installation. The central film is available for exhibition as a single-channel work.
