History of the Circle of Confusion

History Of The Circle Of Confusion, 2009
Installation camera, computer, software and video projection,
3 x 4 m, 2 min
In collaboration with Benjamin Bellamy and Cyril Hadjithomas

As an aerial image of Beirut disappears in the installation Circle of Confusion, it reappears in History of the Circle of Confusion. A camera captures the gradual removal of the 3000 fragments of an aerial photograph of Beirut. Generating a record of the hourly changes in the installation, the video shows the work in real time. Projected onto a screen the same size as the installation Circle of Confusion (3 x 4 meters), the video serves as a reverse reenactment that presents a performative process as well as an immediate and evolving archive.
