Moon Landing or Salt Puddle

Moon Puddle or Salt Landing?

In my work I am interested in questioning gains and losses through the remediation of information, and how something changes once it has been documented if it is in fact still the same thing. This installation creates a comparative situation between the real physicality of the salt and the viewer’s experience with it, and the projected representation of it, which has been framed and mediated through a camera lens.

I chose to use salt because it is one of the most common materials on our planet, and can be found almost everywhere; it is a large component of the makeup of the earth. Its geological nature is of significant interest to me because it is so easily transformed. It moves from a solid to liquid state very easily and fast enough that it can be observed. The salt formation is created by spilling brine out onto the floor; the water evaporates and leaves behind the crystallized salt. Part of this process is being videoed by a camera suspended from the ceiling and projected onto the wall. None of the process is actually being recorded. As we view the floor there is a constant image being generated on the wall. The work is meant to engage the viewer in questions about representations of reality and how they form our understanding of reality.
