"Objects in the rearview mirror are closer than they appear" examines TV as media and its ability to not only influence our perception but, increasingly and pervasively, to radically change it. The installation uses as its source material video footage from tapes nominated to the rose d'Or Festival from 2003-2005.
The compounded images (many different videos combine to create one larger image), demonstrate the effect of digital media on our culture today.
In the overload of images, the single picture loses its importance and a new statement arises. A rearview mirror in a moving automobile suggests the interface between memory and future and between reality and fiction.
Scenes playing in the reflection of an eyeglass lens are the interior thoughts of the protagonist.
"Objects in the rearview mirror..." asks whether information via a modern mass communication system, penetrates directly into our warm living rooms as truth and reality or, in fact, enters as an inconspicuous weapon designed to facilitate the end of reason and deliberation.
