Hillclimbing

Hillclimbing is a video by Cardiff and Miller showing their ascent of a snow-covered hill. Filmed from Miller’s perspective, with sounds of footsteps, breaths, and their dog, the looped work never reaches the summit, emphasizing effort and repetition.

It Takes a Year to Walk Around the Sun is a looped moving-image installation using a floor-projected, rhythmic, disorienting video to evoke physical and psychological immersion. It developed from a year-long performative Instagram project.

It Takes a Year to Walk Around the Sun is a looped moving-image installation.

The floor projected video with it’s rhythmic pace, disorientating POV and soundtrack of breath and footfalls, seeks to evoke a mimetic response in the visitor, allowing for physical and psychological immersion. A meditation on dislocation, time, movement and becoming, the piece grew out of a year long performative Instagram project filmed between Midsummer 2016 and 2017.
