"As artists who dwell within and upon Brooklyn’s edges, our bodies and sensibilities are exposed to powerful and volatile edge-forces. These forces include, for example, water flows, economic exchanges, bio and geo dynamics. 'Brooklyn Obscura' offers image-sensations of one of these forces: Brooklyn light as it signals change and continuous play--composing and recomposing Brooklyn-as-site. Created from a single rooftop but during different intervals of light, these digital photos document a camera obscura's 'live' rear screen projection.
Humans, the landscape, and the built environment are forces in play. At times their relationality creates intense points of contact. Our practice uses media to locate and pass through these 'limit cases.' We move with media in ways that invite a mutual remodeling."
