The challenges facing local news organizations are very real. That's why reader support matters more than ever. If you believe independent journalism matters, make a contribution today and help us reach our summer fundraising goal of $15,000 by August 9.
Want the closest thing to a lucid dreaming experience? Then check out Nadia Hironaka’s “The Late Show” video installation, in which a gallery space and its viewers are as much part of the exhibition as the multi-channel video montages and surround-sound audio.
Her work in this show attempts to dislocate the notions of temporal and spatial stability, branding space and time as mere constructs that can be affected. Inconsistencies in image and sound further knock off the illusion of waking reality as logical and coordinated, because as viewers walk through the installation, they are asked to reconsider the notion of the film screen as a solid and definitive confine. As Hironaka says on her Web site, the viewer is “cast into roles of voyeur, participant, or confidant,” weaving his or her presence into the artwork both psychologically and physically.
