The West Union Project

Sequence of 3 stills from a 4 day interactive projection in Athens, OH.

The West Union Project was an investigation in the nature of the occupation of space over time. I recorded aerial footage of pedestrians on a public sidewalk on a Sunday afternoon, edited the footage from 3 locations in close proximity, then projected the movement back on to the same geographic locations during a series of nights.  The location was near two very popular bars, and so  the populations passing through the space during the day and night were markedly different—families and joggers during the day, college students in pursuit of entertainment at night.
