Land of Tomorrow, Louisville, Kentucky, 2010
Using five projectors, computers and projection mapping software, original video was rear projected on the windows of the southwest corner of the historic St. Francis building in Louisville, Kentucky. The imagery of the inverted reflection of the Shermin Minton Bridge, which connects Indiana and Kentucky, in the water of the Ohio River, and of smokestacks from coal plants along the Ohio River in the Louisville/Southern Indiana Region, pointed to the nuanced and unsettled relationship the people of the region have with past and present roles of the Ohio River. Also known as the Mason Dixon Line, The Ohio has, and still does, act as a physical, political, and dogmatic boundary, and as it ebbs and flows, the waters remind us of its past role in the trafficking of humans and as a gateway to freedom.
