“Appropriation is an important historical practice in art-making, in which the artist uses a previously existing form, image or sound in new ways. The creative effort is defined by the inspired selection and manipulation of found materials. The end result is a strangely familiar, yet altogether new creation.”
- Walker Art Center: Festival of Appropriation
By inappropriating perspective and light, a city is revealed that feigns movement and transformation. The viewer’s misreading of perspective in this new city is what allows it to transform, while the infrastructure of lights and their reflections reveal the volumetric qualities of the spaces through which you walk.
