Walking

2-channel video, 5:26 mins

Walking began as a study for The Bodies Brush Together with a Rustle of Dry Leaves. I recorded a walk on a familiar path near my house from dusk until it progressively turned dark from a point of view angle. It is a consideration of how the amount of light changes the perception and feeling of a space. The completed video is a dual channel view of the walk with the left depicting the light as it diminishes and the right is the reverse. The recorded sounds during the walk are used and some are amplified to emphasize those that produced an eerie feeling such as dogs barking and screaming children.
