Artist Statement:
This is an improvisation on Bernard Tschumi’s deconstructionist follies at Parc La Villette in Paris. The structures, which the architect has described as “post-humanist”, are translated into moving video images and subjected to a radical transformation. Unusual demands are made of the recording capability of the medium, as video and audio signals are pushed to extremes, and the follies are literally folded in time.
