Grazia Toderi: Directions
Apr 21, 2011 - Sep 05, 2011
Grazia Toderi (Italian, b. Padua, 1963) likens her video projections to 鈥渇rescoes of light.鈥� Best known for large-scale installations, the artist works from documentary imagery collected from urban night surveillance and military, satellite, and space program footage. Over these she superimposes her own photography and cinematography, altering the effect with digital manipulations and unifying the vista with sepia-tone filters. The result feels both familiar and mysterious, as the eye struggles to determine the horizon line and read the origins of fields of glimmering lights. Shown on an endless loop, these mesmerizing nightscapes represent the artist鈥檚 ambition to 鈥渧isualize the infinite.鈥�
