Portal HD

(single-channel video installation with sound)

A negative image of the space is projected into itself, forming a shadow-like reflection. Within it, another time surfaces—the same place as memory or future, as a portal in time. The moment slips away, never to return in the same form.

The visual language draws on black-and-white negative film and the transformation of light, where black becomes white and white becomes black—a shifting duality.

This work is a variation of Portal, realized in HD video, with a sharp, high-definition aesthetic. Portal HD was presented as part of an exhibition and performance evening Deconstruction, at the S. Sysoev Mansion, a former bank Renaissance in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
