The Locker Plant Projections

Vidéo expérimentale | hdv | couleur | 8:21 | Norvège, USA | 2011

The Locker Plant Projections is part of a site specific projection video series of my video-installation piece Colour Kinesthesia. The Projections of the abstract colors and the act of projecting in itself become the vehicle for the merging of colors with the environment and that existential and poetic narrative of enlightening our surroundings. In this piece the known Donald Judd building in Marfa, TX - The Locker Plant, is subject to the projections, as well as the South Western Texas Railroad and local trees. In merging the movement of colors with an archetypal architectural form, passing people and natural life activity during the night, we experience an added level to the notion of spatial relations, time and volume. The music of J G Thirlwell, known from Foetus, Manoriexia and Wiseblood - creates a cinematic mood to the minimalist references. The Locker Plant is a former butcher and meat packing plant, one of a group of buildings Donald Judd acquired in Marfa, TX - it is now part of The Chinati foundation.
