Drift
2010
Single-channel video
6 min. 19 sec. loop
During six minutes and nineteen seconds of continuous footage, a handheld camera successively frames a landscape, approaching it from different perspectives and representing it at varying scales. The chaotic motion of the video capture interrupts and connects the composed views of detritus subtly moving along a riverbank. Drift suggests that coextensive with the processes documented in the panorama are similarly natural processes following from the vagaries of apperception and the unsteadiness of the hand.
