NOW @ Second Storey: August 2011



My first solo show, NOW, was held at Second Storey: an artist-run space on Karangahape Road, Auckland, NZ.

A Flag That Has Now Written On It flies atop the building next door to Second Storey.
A CCTV security camera watches from across the road and wirelessly transmits the video signal back across to a receiver in the window of Second Storey.



The receiver passes the video signal through to the back room via a long cable.

In the back room the projector shows a static-harassed image of a pole that holds aloft the intermittently billowing flag.




In the front room Monument hangs, the tails of the vertical flags going with the lie of the floor.
