Smoke and Mirrors

Excerpt:

3 channel or 1 channel panoramic video/sound installation
3:54 min/ High Definition loop, 16:9, color, sound

A gas station is bursting with steam at night, a car roof is set on fire. Mirrored smoke patterns appear under a bridge and in a vintage game arcade. A man with a hat blinks on and off nervously.
The term – slang Smoke and Mirrors is a metaphor for a fraudulent, deceptive or insubstantial explanation. The source of the name is based on magician’s illusions, where  objects appear or disappear amidst a confusing burst of smoke
