Vanishing Point (2021)

In our humanity, there is a vanishing point. We step in and out of it; it’s a kind of zone in which we shift in each other’s perspective from definite to indefinite, and vice versa.” – Karl Ove Knausgaard. Taking inspiration from Knausgaard’s writing on art’s power to bolster our common humanity, Vanishing Point is a multi-channel film installation that meditates on human connection. The three screens show a line of musicians emerging from the distance as the music they play slowly becomes more audible. Through a series of synchronized camera movements, the sound of their instruments ebbs and flows, forming a constantly shifting trio playing a coherent piece of music across the three shots. The changing proximity and the resultant shifts in visual and sonic focus symbolize a mutable sense of connection between the viewer and musicians.
