Inbetweening Beings

Inbetweening Beings is an immersive animated installation. An array of artificial and natural objects conceal projectors and speakers that invite and implicate viewers into ecology. On different surfaces, 8 related stories are projected: WARNING SIGN, FOOTSTEPS, BIRDWATCHING, BURDOCK GOLFER, INCHWORM, DETERIORATE = REDO, ITERATE, BEAVER BLOCKADE, and RETURNING.

“Inbetweening Beings uses the increments of animation to examine ecology in the Anthropocene. Experimenting with frame-by-frame filmmaking, installation, and the materiality of landscape, a variety of living systems are projected, asking where and how humans fit in. The installation connects human and more-than-human life with light and shadow, inviting reflection and implication. Focusing on urban and human-disturbed landscapes, Inbetweening Beings suggests a distinctly anthropogenic “nature” – jumbled, entangled, polluted, and resilient.”
