Nadia Hironaka and
Matthew Suib:
Black Hole/Whiteout
March 2 -
May 19, 2012
A collaboration by Nadia Hironaka and Matthew Suib, Black Hole (2008) is an immersive video installation in a pitch black room, projected onto a screen accompanied by a minimal soundtrack. Whiteout (2010) is a conceptual counterpoint to Black Hole, designed for a lit room. The moving image dissolves onto the walls of the gallery, removing conventional cinematic frame boundaries.
