« Crying Room »
is a virtual project that continues an interest in architecture, light
+ time developed out of photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto's series « Theatres ».
As the selected video plays on the screen, the ambient light levels
of the cinema house fluctuate according to the amount and quality of
light « bouncing » off the moving image and onto
the surrounding architecture.
Interested in how moving images create a continuity of fluctuating light,
« Crying Room » is more about realtime process
and varying light changes delineating our perception of architecture
than Sugimoto's « capturing » and compressing
of time into a single photographic print.
Because this is a study of form, the spectator can load their movie
of choice into the software to activate the piece.
