Convergence | Open End Gallery

Info

Convergence portrays four different people, who were asked: Where do you go to connect with yourself? Luftwerk filmed each person walking towards and away from the camera within a landscape of his or her choice. Overlapping the videos of the two different movement directions, the scenes construct moments of self-encounters. Four varying convergences were projected onto four curtain walls suspended in the shape of a square. The open square design allowed viewers to pass through the structure and view the image from both the inside and outside. Convergence reflects on the notion of self-encounter accentuated by the physical structure and material of this installation.
