Journey (new York)

00:16:25 2009 - LCD Screen, Mac mini, fake wall, wood laminate, sound; Dimensions variable.

This work was commissioned by The Gershwin Hotel in New York for permanent installation in their elevator. A large LCD monitor is installed behind the wall of an elevator with a hole exposing a video of series of figures climbing up a cable. The life size figures reflect the struggles that people can face in a city like New York as well as the determination and passion to reach a goal.
