Crossing Bridges on Sunny Days, Eyes Closed

Part structural film, part landscape film, this six-screen installation recreates the experience of hypnagogia –the transitional state from wakefulness to sleep– during morning commutes in NYC. It maps the architecture of the six bridges that connect Manhattan to the rest of the world by using an artifact to cover the lens of the camera: the colors and flickers of the videos are a result of the interactions of the artifact and direct sunlight being interrupted by the different architectural features of the bridges.
