Whirlwind White, 1 minute 45 seconds, ©2003

In Whirlwind White a series of objects come spinning out of a white oblivion at the viewer and disappear as though they had flown out of the screen. The objects range in size from miniature dollhouse furniture, to kitchen utensils, clothing and people. As though the viewer had entered Alice’s Wonderland, what was once small is now large and what was once large is now the same size as a tiny object. The video is reminiscent of a dream or a trauma, where everyday life breaks the boundaries of gravity and proportion, flying out of our control. When installed, Whirlwind White is projected over a stairwell, creating the sensation that the objects are falling into empty space and that there is no firm ground to stand on.
