ABSTRACT CONCRETE is a cycle of 16 anaglyph 3D images, offering a rotating view of a square, empty room, with stark concrete walls — an abstracted brutalist interior. It was originally presented as a rear-projection video, displayed on translucent mylar screens in two windows of a house in New York City.

The walls of the virtual room are built from actual photographs of concrete surfaces, that have been digitally manipulated to adjust lighting and perspective.

Seen from the outside, the image sequence reveals a shifting view of an illusory interior — a space between the physical and the virtual, the unreal and the hyperreal.

ABSTRACT CONCRETE was first shown as part of LIGHT WINDOWS 2021, a decentralized exhibition curated by The Center for the Holographic Arts during the COVID-19 pandemic, in observance of the International Day of Light.

The piece was displayed nightly between 10pm and 11pm on May 14, 15, and 16, 2021, in Woodhaven, Queens, NYC.
