End of Boom, 600 North Fairbanks Project 2007 / generative video work
End of Boom is a single-camera piece that is part of the 600 Fairbanks
project. End of Boom refers to the source camera mounted at the end of the
horizontal boom on the tower crane, which is constantly rotating over the
construction site resulting in a work of disorientating intimacy.
The variables at play expand to include altitude and scale, and
are just as quickly recompressed into video-memory. There are no milestones
for progress or completion and the distance dissolves any sense of the
construction's stage. Time and perspective are contained in an unassuming
box of mild steel on the floor, presenting an aerial view at your feet
where growth occurs fluidly, both forwards and backwards.
