User:Libraryofbooksburned

An immersive video installation in collaboration with artists George Peck and Hugo Perez.

In response to the ongoing phenomenon of book-burning around the world, BOOKBURN / LIBRARY OF BOOKS BURNED plunges the spectator into an immersive video installation meant to evoke the visceral sensation of being present for a book burning. An abstract narrative will unfold through the visual experience that will be broken down into three acts: cherishing books, burning books, and preserving the ashes of the burned books for a LIBRARY OF BOOKS BURNED that accompanies BOOKBURN. Both aspects of the piece seek to highlight the burning of books as an ongoing contemporary issue as well as historical one.
