In the video "Garbage for the Gap", vaguely inspired by Smithson’s Mirror Displacements, the line between a performative act and the presence of a protagonist is blurred. The imagery is culled from a series of walks in a straight line through the wildly different environs of New York City and the New Mexico Desert in which I wore a large convex mirror (typically used for catching shoplifters) on my back. Each step forward (and away from the camera) places a distorted image of what is left behind (or the past steps) in the mirror and alters the landscape. The sound is composed to create a tension fitting to seeing the past and the present together through the mechanism of the mirror that is directly opposed to but another mirror, the camera lens.
