PROJECTED VOIDS
Photographic light translated into site-responsive video projections.
Projected Voids extends my photographic research into expanded, site-responsive image environments. Developed as single- and dual-channel video installations, these works reverse the conventional logic of photography: rather than collecting light, they radiate it. Time is no longer fixed within an object but unfolds through motion, and the work abandons the bounded photographic surface to activate architectural space and invite viewers to step into the work itself. As viewers move through the projected light, their presence alters both perception and scale, shifting the work from something observed to something physically and perceptually inhabited.
The installations translate the light-based structures of Constructed Voids into projected form, releasing photographic light from the object and allowing it to inhabit the walls, floors, and ceilings of the gallery. Meaning emerges only through projection within specific sites, where spatial conditions, orientation, and the movement of viewers shape the experience. The projection of the work onto one viewer affects the perception of others, foregrounding photography not as an isolated
image but as a shared, contingent encounter. The source videos themselves are not the artwork; projection is not representational delivery but a photographic method in its own right.
As expanded image works, Projected Voids situates photography within the lineage of time-based, non-objective light practices while remaining grounded in photographic concerns of exposure, duration, and embodied viewing. Each installation constitutes a new work, produced through the contingent merger of light, time, site, and human presence, where photography operates as spatial and temporal material.
