A video collage constructed of non-identifiable shapes, which, when combined into a single frame and filled with recognizable footage, allow us to recognize a virtually constructed composition as some thing identifiable. The transitional moments between visual information which “makes sense” in its constructed framework and the reassembled visions of the same parts encourages us to ask:
When is the precise moment at which we understand something to be some thing and not some thing else? The piece intends to overcome essentialism by encouraging the viewer to reflect upon ways of knowing which depend upon visual identification, by offering a new image of a knowable thing; familiar yet different, existing just as profoundly in its virtual singularity as a dynamic, contextual, and changeable thing, where what matters is not knowing “what something is”, but instead understanding “how something is".
