MAZE
Video Component #1
MAZE
1,755 photographs.
Played sequentially, one-by one, in random order.
4K Video, Site-Specific Wall Projection, Ratio 1:1,
226 min.
In the MAZE video, the images are played in random order, instead of how they actually happened, chronologically in history.
A maze has no clear path and many dead ends, causing you to get easily lost inside of it. The maze, in this case, is a symbol for the imperfect and nostalgic recollection of image memory.
Movement through the entire maze via the mathematically-fewest steps possible, while visiting all 1,755 photographs, at least once.
Watch the full 1755 - MAZE video, at the top of this page.

MAZE
Full modular maze mosaic, consisting of 1,755 photographs.
MAZE - SECTION
In the “MAZE” video, the temporal ordering of the photographs will be formatted randomly, as seen above.
MAZE - MOVEMENT
Above, is an even smaller section of the MAZE, demonstrating the movement through it.
We can see the sequential movement through the images that constitute the MAZE video.
When we come to a dead-end, we backtrack and repeat over the same images we just saw, until we move into another, untouched section of the maze. This hypnotic repetition, continues until we finally make our way out of the maze.
The maze of memory, in this instance, represents a lifetime of revisited images from your memory; never in order, and always shuffled. Some images remembered more frequently; some only once.
The maze is an internal dreamland of private time-travel to revisited past visual memories.

LABYRINTH
Video Component #2
LABYRINTH
1,755 photographs.
Played sequentially, one-by-one, in historical order.
4K Video, Site-Specific Wall Projection, Ratio 1:1,
151 min.
In the LABYRINTH video, the images are shown chronologically, in strict order, as to when they happened in history.
A labyrinth has only one path, and you cannot get lost inside of it. The labyrinth, in this case, is a symbol of the un-negotiable truth of the order of when the visual memories actually happened.
Movement through the entire labyrinth, while visiting all 1,755 photographs, individually, only once.

LABYRINTH
Full modular labyrinth mosaic. Consisting of 1,755 photographs.
LABYRINTH - SECTION
In the “LABYRINTH” video, the temporal ordering of the photographs will be formatted sequentially, as seen above.
LABYRINTH - MOVEMENT
Above, is an even smaller section of the LABYRINTH, demonstrating movement through it.
We can see the sequential movement through the images that constitute the LABYRINTH video.
There are no dead-ends, no repeated images, and we can only move forward. The labyrinth of memory, is more of a proof, or historical record, of image recall.
The Labyrinth is a bittersweet reminder, that there is no turning back, only the path forward. The earliest visual memories, only lived once, become harder to visualize; further from memory and reach.

MAZE x LABYRINTH
Video Component #3
MAZE x LABYRINTH
1,755 photographs.
Juxtaposition of MAZE and LABYRINTH.
Both orders, played at the same time, side-by-side, in diptych form.
4K Video, Site-Specific Wall Projection, Ratio 16:9,
148 min.
In the MAZE x LABYRINTH video, we watch both orders, played at the same time, side-by-side, in diptych form.
By doing so, we can compare the random image memories recalled, living in Lisbon, via the Maze…
versus how and when these memories actually happened, via the Labyrinth.

OVERHEAD WALKTHROUGH
Video Component #4
MAZE - OVERHEAD WALKTHROUGH
Overhead circuit walk of the entire maze mosaic, via 2D path-tracking camera pan.
4K Video, Site-Specific Wall Projection, Ratio 16:9,
91 min.
2D Path-Tracking Camera Pan
Overhead Circuit Walk of Maze Mosaic
Photographs are sequenced in random chronological order, not the order they actually happened in history.
Walking the entire maze in the mathematically-fewest steps possible, while visiting all 1,755 photographs, at least once.
Your position in the maze is always the square at the center of the screen.
