Continuum - If I could pinpoint the moment where this all began, it would be in Potsdamer Platz, Berlin, with a snapshot. I am standing, holding the camera ready: I am a tourist. My image is reflected in an ornate mirror atop an elaborately carved fireplace mantel. I am separated from this palace fixture by a half-inch thick layer of glass and steel. {History] is just a few feet away. Its resonance is palpable. Cut to the States, one January morning, a tick ...tick...tack on the keyboard. The snapshot is now my screen saver. I have just logged onto to eBay and in my meandering I have . found that people are auctioning off their home movies. Their personal memories are going for five bucks a roll. At first disquieted by this: I thought that society had definitely reached the point of no return. But then my curiosity led to me to wonder: Could I possibly find a moment, a frame perhaps, when my life syncs up with another' floating out there in this vast global bay. Could I delineate a strange attractor within these personal memories? Home movies from Russia, 1970's : Starting bid: 99 cents. In my recent work, images stream constantly from the Web in real-time while others have been carefully hand-spliced their lifelines balanced precariously on the strength of the splice tape. Stills others have been purchased on eBay and some are digitally reproduced thought, histories, and memories. Mining this reservoir of images for instances when time overlaps: I am reassembling the information to construct an individual experience from the global archive. I have edited, cut, copied, pasted, and spliced these fragments from the cultural continuum in an effort to resolve the moment when the collective is mirrored in personal experience.
