Installation in public space
4K video, sound, 5:00 min. (excerpt) of 10:33 minutes total, 2022


Between Day and Night is a series of site-specific installations in public space about time and passage, presented in narrative documentary form.

Staged during twilight in locations of connective, infrastructural tissue across Manhattan and the New Jersey Meadowlands, the installations consist of 1-3 metal beams, each capped with a single LED lamp, and connected to a hidden control box. The glow of a lime green orb slowly rises and falls over the course of approximately 22 minutes: timed to illuminate the transitional space between the setting sun and the onset of evening.

Bodies and systems, human and nonhuman pass before these light rods, and are illuminated. The spaces we cohabit and cocreate begin to appear anew. To re-explore what is just at hand. A gesture of transference across elements and the living world is made. As is an offering of rapport.
