Counterintuitive Proposition for a Black Hole

(2012--in progress)


installation for 16mm film loop, magnifying glass, and slide projection
In Counterintuitive Proposition for a Black Hole, a magnifying glass is suspended inside the beam of the projeciton, creating a shadow in the filmed image of the night sky. As of this moment astrophyscists have yet to actaully *see* a black hole, an infintely dense space that is inherently invisible to us since light is trapped and prevented from escaping. The visualisations they have created are based on observed behaviors of other celestial bodies and gravitational forces in the vicinity.
