Transient


A video created from the manipulation of sequential stills of the city captured over several weekends. With music by Sawako Kato or Philip Glass or random noise depending on our mood.

Do we ever really visually process any great City, especially one like New York, dominated by its verticality? Transient gathers visual snapshots at a rapid pace on rapid transit, in cabs, on foot, mirroring the rapidity with which we see/don’t see what’s in or not quite in our line of vision. Even in stillness, so much interplay presents.
