Topologies (2.5.09 - 5.5.09) 2009
LOCATION Enjoy Gallery, Wellington. Rm Gallery, Auckland.
Topologies is a digital video record of four days of weather and maritime conditions, filmed twice a day, from the same position from the DOC lodge at Mimiwhangata, Northland. The framing of this shot was suggested by the accidental find of a Mimiwhangata coastal park document that included a topographic drawing of a rocky outcrop rising from the sea. Weather from the morning and evening of each day is represented by a horizontal slice of video, set against the same rocky outcrop in the topographic drawing. The daily layers of weather play simultaneously in vertical striations across the screen. A vertical slice from the synoptic scale weather map from the time period of the residency, is layered over my ground surface weather observations.
