These richly layered video collages — of city, body, and landscape — paint a portrait of threatened spirituality in the age of fast food and fast cameras. Each is accompanied by a moving, at times meditative soundtrack. From Steve Reich's minimalist score for Numbering Numbers to Mozart's "Concerto #23" in My Body is a Boat, we hear and see both the eternal and the incidental flicker and dim, leaving a landscape in which cultural and individual identities are adrift.
