T R A N S I T I O _ a global dialogue, embodying a city within a city.

 

Since 2000 I have been filming cities around the world in a very intimate and exploratory way.

The series Transitio started in 2001 with the exhibition Duration: 1 Hour and 3 Minutes — Location: 17.3 Miles at Paul Rodgers Gallery in NYC, coinciding with the Guggenheim Museum exhibition Brazil Body and Soul. In this video I filmed New York's Broadway from the perspective of a taxi, capturing street scenes from the Bronx to Wall Street, in one shot, an unedited diagonal passage through the city. In 2002 the same video-sculpture was presented in Mexico City actualizing the first exchange between two cities. In 2003 the exhibition traveled to Tornio in Finland.

In this second phase of the project my intention is to have a physical exchange with the city, through outdoor projections onto buildings.

The intention of the project is to bring two cities of China - Nanning and Shanghai and New York City, through an outdoor projection, a video projection onto the City Center Dome in Beirut.

The public-site installation is formed to bring these cities to a simultaneous present. Beirut will experience Nanning and Shanghai and NYC in its most spontaneous and poetic way due to the form and placement of the video.
