“Late November, I noticed the shadow of a flag projected onto a house by a sodium streetlamp. The shadow almost completely enveloped the front of the house, undulating in the wind, covering the windows.
This image held me, grounded me, and for a moment kept me present.
I wondered what the rhythmic motion of the shadows must look like from within, how it would fill the window, the calming ebb and flow as it moved with the wind.
There was something so striking about this huge shadow; how, despite its sheer enormity it had been stripped of all symbolism and existed only in its physicality.”
From 10 – 20 December, Charys Wilson will be undertaking a residency in the PS² Project Space, experimenting with projections and structural configurations, integrating and reworking components from existing installations as part of her investigations into sustainability and flux.
In January, just us at street-level during daytime darkness hours to reflect on Charys’ large-scale animation, 3 in the morning, which is being reimagined for an audience of passers-by.
