New Jersey Gradual

This video consists of a single 17-minute dolly shot of a typical feature of the suburban New Jersey landscape: the parking lot. This shot is used as a texture on the inside of a primitive object in a virtual 3D space. The object is a sphere that undertakes a number of programmed rotations. The result transforms the ordinary imagery into a hypnotic, disorienting and at times otherworldly visual experience. Somehow the secular and the spiritual collide in this unlikely landscape.
