Rhombus, 2012, High Definition video without sound; looped; single channel projection; aspect ratio 16:9; dimensions variable

This video re-examines a photograph of a rhombus-shaped painting made to resemble a skylight. The video reveals uncertainty about the fixed nature of the photographic frame by cropping out any edge reference of the filmed photograph. The temporal aspect of the video allows the object an additional removal from recognition, as it becomes the subject of light, afterimage, and blurred vision.
