spYder at the Cinémathèque Québécois

Here is my recent construction on show at the Cinematheque until April 30th.


The Great SpYder Steeple Chase, Super-8 Race



















The armature for this exposition is designed to illuminate, provide power to each viewer’s motor and house all commissioned super-8 films.

It allows people of different heights to view them while keeping the scale of the armature as compact as possible. But importantly this structure is logical creation and it’s aesthetic is intended to read as such. It is also built to function as a kind of spectacle for exposition but the spectacle I hope remains firmly on the ground.
