Golden (Vistas) 2005
DVD - Colour ­ 19'47" ­ looped

Golden (Vistas) explores an iconic landmark and symbolic frontier, both of diaspora and the West, through a series of visual encounters. San Francisco's Golden Gate - often invoked as an emblem of possibility and prosperity - is here experienced as threshold, gateway and portal, both concrete and elusive. At turns shadowy and solid, the structure slips in and out of focus, in and out of view. The piece moves between three perspectives, 'before', 'beside', and 'beyond'; over bay, strait, and ocean waters.

Lightsilver explores the physical, conceptual and historical impact of the landscape tradition on the ideas of contemporary artists. Territory that has been conventionally explored through other mediums is here broadly extended to the moving image. An evolving montage of projections links the cinematic tradition of vista-making with the metaphoric potential of an age-old genre ­ the appearance of that portion of land which the eye can view at once. Nine artists rotate new commissions across three spaces, each entering the sequence on one screen before proceeding to the next the following week. Every fresh work has an impact on the triptych, asserting its presence and shifting the kaleidoscope before the next incoming piece changes interpretation again.
