Push / Pull

Pascual Sisto

2006 / 21:08

Sisto's Push / Pull (my luck is your misfortune), a re-working of an original two-channel installation, rearranges seemingly endless lanes of evening traffic into opposing kaleidoscopic video planes. Approaching white lights from oncoming traffic pass in a tunnel-like flow, receding as red tail lights. The two squarely framed video spaces take on a cosmic scale, reflecting physical logic of the Doppler effect, in which red shift occurs in sources of light moving away from an observer. The viewers sit in a suspended state, neither coming nor going, in the space in between.
