Between the Sheets

Between the Sheets is a video installation that invites each viewer into a world of peaceful seclusion. Like a spirit to this world, a girl leads viewers through the installation space, which is configured in winding turns and curves. She is but a projection, as is the forest to which she guides the viewer. Multiple projectors paint the "walls" of the installation’s corridor. These walls are white cloths and sheets hung from the ceiling that act like screens. They serve to not only provide a base for projection, but they also provide privacy. Only one viewer at a time is allowed to enter the installation. Once inside, s/he finds himself alone with the video-character, in intimate interaction with her as she guides the user through the maze of white.

As the viewer progresses through the corridor, s/he will come upon a forest projection that traces the corridor. The once-silence environment becomes filled with birdsong as the passageway leads to a larger and encompassing projection, filled with trees, grass, and sky. Here, the viewer is given the opportunity of relaxing seclusion and peaceful contemplation—a privacy rare to today’s busy world. The viewer is also welcomed to stay as long as they like, fostering intimacy with the space… fostering intimacy with one's self; a quiet escape from interruption.
