Video Projections on wall.

Artist Statement:

Collapsing the space within long distance relationships of loved ones by projecting a moment/moments of their lives into our own. The personal concepts involved in this project deal with ideas of being away from home and togetherness.  For this process, our loved ones filmed themselves performing routine activities at home.  Then they will sent us their video.  We then videoed ourselves going about daily activities while our loved ones’ video was projected and playing in the background (next to and over top of us).  The goal was to look and feel somewhat as if we are together with our loved ones while we are apart in separate homes miles away.  The images shown to the viewers were three separate projections of our final videos (with no sound) on a warped studio lighting wall.

Christine Sciulli, Thomsens Ishus, 2013 A site specific projection by Christine Sciulli

Fjellerup, Denmark Opening 8.8.13 19:00

Christine Sciulli has assembled images and stories from the Kattegat coast developed through talking with the local families who have been actively involved in fishing in the village for generations. Images gathered by the community were rephotographed by Sciulli and mixed with photos taken by her around the Ishus to propel a projection work that speaks to the past, present and future of the seaside town of Fjellerup through the virtual sublimation of walls of Thomsens Ishus.

A one night workshop was held for local tweens to experiment with drawing with light onto the projections.

Thomsens Ishus, site specific projection by Christine Sciulli is part of Fjellerup i Bund og Grund, an art project by Anna Lise Jensen with site-specific art projects in Fjellerup, supported by Norddjurs and made in collaboration with the townspeople and artists Norbert Francis Attard, Julia Whitney Barnes, Monica Carrier, Jo Q . Nelson and Christine Sciulli.
