Dwelling
A Video Installation by Corina Gamma
While driving through a city, one can often make visual assumptions and connections just by looking at the transitions that exist between urban spaces. By examining the architectural boundaries in which people seek refuge, the human need for privacy and personal space - as well as the illusory fantasies attached to ìmoving up in the worldî - becomes apparent. Dwelling, a video installation, addresses the psychological trappings of lifestyle and the fragile realities connected with the concept of home. It visually explores the peculiarly American passion for seeking a better dwelling, moving up in status and upscaling oneís house and, by extension, oneís self and community.
