The Unseen is a site specific multimedia installation that interrogates open-ended questions about the cinematic experience. Fort Mason Center for Arts and Culture in San Francisco offered their campus carte blanche for this solo commission to close our their month-long Magic public event series. 

Before proposing anything I did a series of site visits with the following questions: What is Fort Mason? What is a film? What is a screen? Who are the actors? Who is the audience?

This work both blurs and highlights the borders that make up the cinematic experience in hopes of revealing the unseen elements that allows us to perceive any magic at all: sharing space in time.

This was my first site specific multimedia installation piece, and introduced me to powerful media tools like Resolume.
