This work, A Variable Account<\/em>, employs a variety of means (UHF signals, audio, photographic, built and altered) to represent an imagined past for a singular office space, the space\u2019s function and the people who occupied it. The viewer is presented with mediated versions of an office area and subsequently a \u2018real\u2019 version in which furniture is distorted to imply a space that is both permeable and subject to change.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This installation was one of 18\u00a0events\/installations in The City is Asleep and Dreaming<\/a>. The site-specific works were installed in a defunct bank and designed to help develop a public dialogue about the transitioning identity of the city of Rochester New York and provoke a re-imagination of what public space is and what it could be.<\/p>\n
