HOLLOWGRAM is a play on the holograph - the technique of generating multidimensional images.
this work aims to evoke a holographic sensibility through the use of veils to multiply the videos away from the wall surface. it’s also holographic in that the video is a reconstruction of a performance that never existed; the multiplication of the bodies in the video itself, even without the multidimensionality of the projection, is a rendering of a performance that could not take place without (digital) media(tion). the work is, in a sense, a kind of contact improvisation with a ghost of a ghost of a ghost. the dancing body dances with someone that is not there. contact creates a kind of negative space, an inverting.
