View

View implements fear as a way to examine methods that can heighten and manipulate the experience of time and place. The work documents several attempts to walk into a boulder while blindfolded, influenced by the instructed actions and exercises seen in endurance performance art of the 1960s-1970s. Drawing on concepts of voyeurism and the unreliable narrator commonly explored in genres of thriller and horror, expectation and truth, and fantasy and reality are simultaneously blurred and distinguished as determined by participant and viewer.
