A Rousing View of Nature’s Magnificence

A video performance made at Grand Canyon National Park.  It is a study in superlative visual and textual representations of natural wonders.  With this piece I consider the value we place on “being there” versus experiencing a location via those superlatives.

From the Rim

A combined narrative of 100+ family vacations to the Grand Canyon.  Every visitor arrives with preconceived notions about the natural “wonder” gleaned from images of the canyon.  In turn, visitors reconcile those preconceptions with the reality of the view from the rim.  We see these moments on video with varied response; from life-changing revelations to total indifference.
