Deconstruction New York 2017
This piece uses digital processing and timed pixel sequencing to deconstruct the off framed appropriated digital photo of public art. The image has been fragmented and corroded into bits of horizontal motions that go from figurative to abstraction. Using a cubist approach to motion and design, the on-off switches deconstructs the original image which becomes translated to its mirror opposite in a choreographic cyclical trance.
