MY LIFE AS A GHOST

((1998, loop, 2 lateral anamorphic wall projection)

In his first videographic (linear) anamorphosis, My Life as a Ghost, the artist morphed 8 passport photos of himself (4 @ age 14, and 4 @ age 40) to simulate two series of motions, which are then projected laterally next to each other - a reflection on the "geometry" of memory. More recent portraits of the artist have sporadically been added to the work.
