| Billy Tran uses video as a medium to disrupt received notions of our relationship both to
space and to image. In Tran's formulations, the two are deeply interconnected, and in his
installation films of the exhibition space, in its unaltered form are populated with a crowd
of spectators who through the act of being filmed and re-presented become subjects. This image
of the crowd mirrors the viewer and his/her interaction with the crowd as its image slowly
dissolves isolating the viewer as a new subject, the new "public" in a transformed space. |
