HERE IS ELSEWHERE

The urban renewal of a familiar neighborhood renders that familiarity an enigma: here becomes elsewhere. Evocative sound design, salvaged views from Google maps and intermittent statements route around a puzzle of place. The central visual riddle is achieved through aerial videography of Portland’s North Williams neighborhood subjected to extensive digital compositing. The contours of a quintessential image of Mt. Hood are pronounced and undone by conflicts perceived in the passage of time. In collaboration with aerial videographer, Adam Simmons.
